Sorry if I am sending this twice, but the first one doesn't seem to have
worked:
It looks like there aren't any ideas for solving my original problem
(included below), so I'll widen my search a bit.
I want any expression of the form Subscript[a, b] to be interpreted as a
symbol. I can achieve this easily using the Notation package, by the
following:
Utilities`Notation`Symbolize[NotationBoxTag[SubscriptBox["_", "_"]]]
I also want to run my code in batch mode (without a front end). However,
[it appears that] the Notation package cannot be used in batch mode.
Given that I can't easily make the Notation package work in batch mode,
I now ask: does anyone know another way (not using the Notation package)
to make all subscripts behave as symbols?
Thanks again for any ideas.
