Type: (1) PlotLabel -> and then hit Ctrl+9, (*This creates an inline cell*) (2) followed by u Ctrl+- (3) followed by (x Ctrl+- 1 (s),t) With the method above you do NOT need to enclose it in " ". However, if you hadn't created an inline cell, and merely typed in u_k(x_1(s),t) (*using the appropriate shortcuts for subscripts, of course*), then Mathematica would treat this as StandardForm[] input (notice the coloring?), causing the () in your expression confuse the program. (Why? Mathematica is expecting [] for functions) To fix this, you could alternatively just make it a string, i.e., wrap the label in "". I prefer the inline cell method. -RG
