+The next step is to learn about "diacriticals", which
+is a big word for funny marks on symbols, like
+a bar over something ($x bar$), or a tilde or hat on
+something ($x tilde ,~a hat$), or perhaps a dot
+or dotdot ($T dot ,~U dotdot$), or even an
+underlining like $abc under$.
+
+These are all easy. Each funny character
+has a name, and all you have to do is put the name
+after the thing you want the character on.
+Thus
+ x hat makes $x hat$
+ y bar makes $y bar$
+ T dot makes $T dot$
+ x tilde makes $x tilde$ (notice that we spell tilde)
+ u dotdot makes $u dotdot$ (looks ugly on a terminal)
+.br
+and
+ i under makes $i under$.
+
+Except for "bar" and "under", these are almost always
+attached to just a single letter.
+If you want to put a bar over something longer, like
+${2 pi +1} bar$, simply enclose the thing in braces:
+
+ {2 pi +1} bar
+
+Modify "Example" to produce output that looks like this,
+then type "ready".
