Gary,
You might try (X)^1/2... your raising the number to the 1/2 power,
which is the same as taking the square root. ^(1/3) cube root ^
(1/4) fourth, etc..
The ASCII 'programming' convention is \sqrt{n}.
The labor intensive way to do an approximation of the symbol in an ASCII
monospaced font is to make the bar as an underline on the line *above* the
numbers, like:
____
V 2 = 1.41421...
using of course a capital 'V' in front,
but it can get messy fast, and if the recipient's mail client doesn't
handle monospacing well, it turns right into a dog's breakfast real
fast...
But, it's the Thought that Counts, at any rate!
Cheers
