It worked perfectly. I also discovered that the Plain TeX sequence: test \footnote[-]{{${}^1$}whatever} can be used with the bracketed hyphen to number the note itself while leaving the text unsullied (which I mention in case it's not obvious to some current or future reader of this thread); the superscript math snippet can also be put elsewhere in the footnote than the beginning, if one is so inclined. Thanks again. John -- *** John McChesney-Young ** panis@pacbell.net ** Berkeley, California, U.S.A. ***
