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.)
