Another possible approach would be to run a macro (probably a Perl macro) that inserts <sub>[any_digit]</sub> tags as you write your text, and then, when you have finished your editing, run another macro which would replace these tags with rtf code.
Isn't it ironic that so many solutions to problems found with our "state-of-the-art" operating system and "state-of-the-art" applications -- specifically NEx -- involve retrogressing to tags and command line operations? It was the _lack_ of a command line interface and tags that made me leave CP/M and the then-state-of-the-art wordprocessor WordStar in 1984. Nineteen years later we're almost back were we started.
Well, tags may be not so anachronistic since they are used in html, xml, etc.
But I agree that in this case at least, the use of tags would be a regression; we should be able to use a more WYSIWYG way...!
