Re: 2nd argument in math mode
Many thanks! In retrospect, it seems obvious, but I just didn't think of that.
(newbie!!)
Is it in the help files? If you are in Math mode, it is much nicer to put
commands in line than having to use the ERT box anyway.
Thanks again,

Simply hitting \{ after you have left the first argument paranthesis. It
