In fact it produces nice little tildes exactly where you wanted them. I suggest you check your implementation of TeX for bugs or your file for typos. If you can't find it, check with your system guru or pass the buck to whomever installed it. :-) Joseph Kincaid | All the views contained herein are my own. kincaid@einstein.mpccl.ksu.edu | Everything else I share with my wife.
