I am trying out a NeXT with Framemaker installed, but no documentation. I would like to get a feel for using it to set up mathematical expressions, but I am having trouble: 1. I can't get a subscript or superscript.(Also, in the training documents the subscripts and superscripts do not appear in the correct location. Instead they look as if they are a full line above or below.) 2. The keyboard equivalents do not seem to work. That is to get an alpha I try \alpha or ~a, as they are listed in the symbol menu or palette, but no alpha results. 3. Although I have seen very nice documents produced with FM (viz. the NeXT advertising brochures), I have not seen mathematical papers done with it. I would like to hear from someone happily using FM for mathematics. (By the way I happily use MathType with WriteNow on the Macintosh, a wonderful combination, and I use TeX without difficulty.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Kent Morrison kmorriso@nike.calpoly.edu Math Dept office: (805) 756-2464 Cal Poly dept: (805) 756-2206 San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 fax: (805) 756-1670 ______________________________________________________________________________
