Hi readers,

I use AMS-LaTeX and have been wondering recently if there is an equivalent
of \bar{} which underscores a symbol instead of placing the bar on top.
This type of thing is common for example when defining the support of a
distribution. I have used \underline but not found it to be that
satisfactory aesthetically. Can anyone guide me to the appropriate macro
for this??
Thank you,

Charles Hyde
