Thanks, Nicolas and Nick. The option solves it perfectly.

[O] Quoting "_" for html and LaTeX output

[Peter Davis]

A lot of the information I track in org-mode includes filepaths and 
names and other strings containing underscore ("_") characters. I'd like 
to be able to quote these for HTML and LaTeX output, so I don't wind up 
with unwanted subscripts.


On the other hand, I want the data to be pretty readable within the org 
buffer, so using \under{} pretty much fails that.

What about: #+OPTIONS: ^:nil ?

See `org-pretty-entities'

I don't remember that that ever worked - did it? OTOH, my memory isn't
what it used to be (and it was pretty bad to begin with).
