We've known for some time that there are occasional problems with the way format handles text calling for half-line-up and half-line-down motions (\u and \d) on devices which can't do such motions (the line printer and most terminals), but Phyllis has found a new one: the sequence first\dsubscript\u\usuperscript\dsecond produces firstsubscript superscriptsecond This does look kinda odd, but rest assured that it will come out RIGHT on a device like the Multiwriter or the 1750 that CAN do half-line motions. This and the other related oddities are being looked into and will be fixed some day.
