I exported to LaTeX, and it indeed did turn my underscores into \_ commands.
Within LaTeX, if I deleted the underscores, it wouldn't compile. I guess an
underscore is some kind of a LaTeX reserved word.
So, your MiKTeX 2.6 on WinXP gives \_ the right monospace width, but my latex
command on Mandriva Linux 2007 does not.
I'm wondering if there's some other command to get an underscore.
