Thanks, Nirmal. I'm still missing some subtle points of cursor placement. As an aside, is there a place in some documentation where the use of each little blue box in math mode is explained? That I've not seen and it would probably help me with learning new math mode entry tasks. > ... after you've typed the content in the second blue box of the cases > environment on the first line, you need to hit Ctrl-Enter immediately, That works. But, let's back up a minute. When I enter the left side of the equation I then select cases from the math menu. That gives me a left bracket and two little blue boxes. Would I, in this situation, enter the "1," in the left side blue box and "if and only if x \in A" in the right side blue box, then press ctrl-[Enter]? Also, when entering the conditional, what is the proper format for spacing between words? A keyboard space moves me out of the math box; so does a right arrow key press. I've used the space button on the math panel (for a medium space), but that's terribly tedious and does not seem like the proper procedure. Yes, cursor placement is crucial and I seem to need to learn this for each different instance of a complex equation I try to enter in my book. :-) Many thanks, Rich -- Dr. Richard B.
