I use TraditionalForm for output........but i notice certain outputs
concerning subscript variables that puzzle me.....and also arent' what i
want.....example... (where Subscript variable gotten from using the
Palette)...


   ab*Cos[t]   gives output of ab Cos[t].........however....

  a_Subscript_b*Cos[t]    gives output of Cos[t]   a_Subscript_b......which
is an example of what I dont want...i have never seen anyone write
Cos[t] A....rather then A Cos[t]......


Some other examples are:

  a_Subscript_b*?[t]  (where ? is the letter 't' or higher in the
alphabet)....outputs..... a_Subscript_b ?[t].......whereas

  For ? lower then 't'....the output is   ?[t] a_Subscript_b.....which is
again not what I want as the Traditional Form output.....

Any explanations for these results or just a Mathematica quirk?..
