In a jam how to type an exponent
well i'd usually leave this up to the mac users to answer, since i can't be up much help... but i'll try i guess since no one has replied.
i did a google search, and pretty much the only thing that came up was doing an exponent in Applescripter. it suggested using the ^ symbol. for example: 2^3=8.
did you try looking in the manual/help file/whatever Apple calls them for that program?
