[My earlier mail asks for help in getting Mathematica to print numbers
in FORTRAN-like "e" format when using FullForm.]
Okay, sorry, reading The Book more closely offers a solution:
NumberForm[ FullForm[ expr ], NumberFormat -> (SequenceForm[#1, "e", #3]&) ]
does what I want (see p 352).  Note that FortranForm[] does *not* work
for my purposes because it "unFullForm's" a FullForm expression
besides printing the numbers in Fortran form.
