I saw somewhere instructions on how to do superscripts and subscripts. But I can't find the info now either by browsing topics or by search.

If you know how to do this, please (re)post.

Thanx.

Dammit! The corporate web-bahs have blocked any site with even a whiff of AOLness to it. Would you please C&P the relevant passage?

Please? I’ll be your best friend!

manhattan:

&ltSUB&gtSubscript&lt/SUB&gt = Subscript

&ltSUP&gtSuperscript&lt/SUP&gt = Superscript

Now, let's see if I typed all that in without screwing it up!

Geez, Louie, we'd rather go to you than some stranger.

Thanks to all!. I successfully placed a superscript in the MPSIMS folder. I waited, like, 9 hours to do so, but it was worth it.

As to Louie’s self-deprecating comment,

<marquee behavior="alternate">I can’t emphasize how much you rock.</marquee>

<marquee behavior="alternate">Your tutorial is still the best.</marquee>

Thanks.

Hmmm, maybe I should do a sex tutoral over at MPSIMS, since that's what they all talk about over there now.

Or has that already been done?

Ignore this.
Pursuing the topics in General Questions today has left me with some questions of my own.

Has the internet broken? Are all search engines bereft of URLs?

I did a quick search today and got a perfectly acceptable answer to my query, but maybe I have Super-Duper-Extra-Cool Internet TM , and some of today’s topic posters haven’t yet downloaded the software from <font color="blue">Buyadictionary.com</font>
