one of my favorite things about Mathematica is the few shortcuts i know, like for
greek letters:
<ESC>a<ESC> produces an alpha
<ESC>pi<ESC> produces a pi
i want to know more, and found a file UnicodeCharacters.tr which looks like a
goldmine of shortcuts. however, they don't seem to be working.
for instance, i would be very interested to know how to enter fractions
without clicking on the palette. there seems to be a definition for
FractionBox, but when i try:
<ESC>FractionBox<ESC>
nothing happens. perhaps i'm not using the information from this file
correctly. can someone tell me how to get a fractionbox without clicking the
palette? i can probably figure the rest out once i know that one. :)
thanks!
pete
