I still don't understand the problem you are having. If I type some
input expression in an Input cell and then keep typing to begin a
comment with (* and eventually end the comment with *), I can type a
subscripted expression within that comment; and I can type any
_mathematical_ expression by means of the standard method of entering
such: Ctrl-( to begin it, Ctrl-) to end it.
