I wonder if there is an easier way to write
things like [normal]T[subscript]lambda ?
Or one has to write a ``T''
and then change position and font and write the 
lambda and then find position for next character?
In TeX, one doesn't need to write about it, one
simply writes $T_\lambda$. 

How do I select among
0.01 1.0E-2 1e-2 etc for show? I need them for labels.
I used to program in FORTRAN and this is done
by FORMAT control E5.2 F5.2 etc.
