        !             8: problem; maybe you've wondered about it.
        !             9: Suppose we want to produce an equation that looks
        !            10: like this:
        !            11: .EQ
        !            12: x sup { pi + 1 }

        !            14: The superscript is complicated, in that it contains
        !            15: both a $pi$ and a +1, which has to be separated
        !            16: from the $pi$ by a blank.
        !            17: But I already told you that a blank terminates
        !            18: the superscript.  What's going on?
