Chris, Subscript is a Mathematica operator that has no bulit-in evaluation rules associated with it; CirclePlus is another example. In contrast the operator Times does have evaluation rules associated with it. SubscriptBox is the box representation of Subscript obtained by ToBoxes[Subscript[x,y] SubscriptBox[x, 3] while ToBoxes[CirclePlus[x,y]] gives RowBox[{x, â??, y}] Hope this helps, Cheers, Brian Chris Chiasson wrote: > Could someone explain in detail what the difference between Subscript > and SubscriptBox is?
