How do you get a minus sign to appear in a superscript, as in 10 to the

Sorry, I meant $10^{-24} gives the same as $10^{24$}

In LaTeX: $10^{-24}$.
In LyX (in a math inset), the ^ key opens an exponent widget, into which
you type -24.
What versions of LyX/LaTeX are you using that don't produce this??

It does so here.
What system is that, what exactly do you type and is this 'missing' on

Thanks for this suggestion - it seems to have worked. I had tried that
method previously but probably didn't do it quite right.
