Bruce,

Thank you for your input.  As far as using the actual RTF codes, this seems to
be one of the better suggested solutions.  Many of the others are what I
consider "work-arounds".  I mean, the will do the job, and the text will appear
properly to the user, but if you open up the RTF data, there will be no signs of
/super or /sub RTF codes.

Thanks again,

Travis
