More The subscript commands cannot be used to:
•
Subscript a subscript
•
Index down a page
•
End a superscript.
The distance of a subscript character from a regular character
depends on the current font size. Thus, if you want to use a
smaller or larger font for the subscript, give the Font Change
command immediately after Subscript Start and return to the
original font before Subscript Stop.
In the example below, the regular letters are entered using font
number 5, and the subscripts are entered using the smaller font
number 6.
To produce:
C

H

Enter:
E 5C E l E 62 E 5 E sH E l E 65 E 5 E sOH
To underline a subscript at its own level, give the Underline Start
command after the Subscript Start command.
