I'm not sure exactly what you want. If you want a superscript of a
subscript, you're out of luck. If you want a subscript followed by a
superscript, you're ok. 

The superscript/subscript seems to be tied to the line, not to the previous
character. So you end up with something that looks (very roughyl) like:

       5
abcdfg
      4

rather than:

abcdefg
	5
       4

(Gads. Trying to make it even look CLOSE makes me glad I've got something
more than an ascii screen...)

Hope this helps.
