Way to remember this (if you know TeX):
Coding for P-sub-ij in TeX is $P_{ij}$ (in TeX underline indicates
following content is to be subscripted) and Shift-minus gives underline.
Evidently Mathematica stays close to this by having Ctrl-minus turn underlining
on. Haven't looked into how to turn it off.
