Thank you to Gordon, Ken Ray, Cubist, Glenn, and both Jims for your
solutions to this problem. With your help I was able to write script
that produced a perfectly satisfying result. After a few
experiments, I went with Ken's suggestion to use TextShift, but with
a twist. Here's what work

The editable field can now be represented more correctly.
Might work :-)

You can use the "textShift" property to move text above/below the baseline.
For example, make a field with 24 point font (I used Lucida Grande but you
can use what you want), and set the fixedLineHeight of the field to true.
Enter the equation like this:
y =
Mark it may be possible to generate an image on the fly of your
equation and display that. Also, if the kind folks at Altuit would
update the altBrowser plugin to use the Gecko rendering engine (ala
Firefox), you could use MathML and get *great* equation rendering!

Fellow list members, I have a problem for which I can only find
difficult or unsatisfactory solutions, and I was hoping you might
have some suggestions.
I am making a stack to teach students math -- linear equations, to be
more precise. When I display the y = mx + b form, the best I can do
