How do I make an underscore in Maple?

Every time I try to make an underscore _ in Maple,
I am forced into a subscript.
Hence, I cannot enter commands such as
dperiodic_sols
from the DEtools list
into my program.

Thank you.

Escape

In the Standard Input (Math) mode, you need to explicitly escape the underscore character in order to have it appear as you would like it. To type in dperiodic_sols, you would have to type

dperiodic\_sols

--Schivnorr

or ...

... you could use 1D (Maple notation) mode.

Thank you!

Thank you!

\_ worked in Math mode.

I don't see 1D mode in the dropdown list.

I find that these various modes don't tend
to "stick". I type in one mode. Then, depending
upon what I type, I am automatically
flipped to another mode.

So, I don't even bother to notice what
mode I'm in.

1D math mode

Tools, Options..., Display. Set Input Display to Maple Notation, click Apply Globally, and your default input mode will be Maple Notation. If you ever do want 2D math mode, press Ctrl-R.
