                      8: The next step is to learn about "diacriticals", which
                      9: is a big word for funny marks on symbols, like
                     10: a bar over something ($x bar$), or a tilde or hat on
                     11: something ($x tilde ,~a hat$), or perhaps a dot 
                     12: or dotdot ($T dot ,~U dotdot$), or even an
                     13: underlining like $abc under$.
                     14: 
                     15: These are all easy.  Each funny character
                     16: has a name, and all you have to do is put the name
                     17: after the thing you want the character on.
                     18: Thus
                     19:   x hat makes $x hat$
                     20:   y bar makes $y bar$
                     21:   T dot makes $T dot$
                     22:   x tilde makes $x tilde$ (notice that we spell tilde)
                     23:   u dotdot makes $u dotdot$ (looks ugly on a terminal)
                     24: .br
                     25: and
                     26:   i under makes $i under$.
                     27: 
                     28: Except for "bar" and "under", these are almost always
                     29: attached to just a single letter.
                     30: If you want to put a bar over something longer, like
                     31: ${2 pi +1} bar$, simply enclose the thing in braces:
                     32: 
                     33:   {2 pi +1} bar
                     34: 
                     35: Modify "Example" to produce output that looks like this,
                     36: then type "ready".

                     44: Let ${alpha +1} bar$ be the mean value of $alpha hat$.
