I hope this comment didn't bother people (I don't knpow how someone may
interpret it on retrospection). I have checked the archive and see nothing
obviously related to what I have found...
Some additional information: if I try the sequence below at the beginning
of a document, it flat out fails with 6 errors about things like missing }'s
and so on. Is there a way to log these errors (since I can't seem to copy
the text out of the boxes)?
Has the input for math changed that much from 1.2.x ? I have noticed that
C-m A-m m CH <rightarrow> _4
works OK. ????
