I don't think it has anything to do with the SubscriptSymbols package. E and I are reserved symbols in Mathematica. They have numeric values and stand for the exponential constant and the imaginary unit. The symbols that display in StandardForm are actually \[ExponentialE] and \[ImaginaryI]. Therefore you really shouldn't be using them as subscripted symbols because it doesn't make sense to subscript a numeric value. I would recommend using different symbols, perhaps from the CompleteCharacters palette. David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: mibelair at hotmail.com [mailto:mibelair at hotmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Hi all, I use mathematica 5.2 for students. Normally, I charge the package Utilities`SubscriptSymbols` and runs very well. But, when I operate with symbols E or I (both with subscripts) Mathematica yields "e" or "i" with subscripts. I think is more elegante to obtain "E" or "I" with subscripts, because "E" or "I" without subscripts are constants and "E" or "I" with subscripts are symbols. How can I to convert "e" or "i" with subscripts to "E" or "I" with subscripts. Thanks
