Solved it!
R!D0!S!E-!R!S!I!9D!XF!R 1!N produces the same as R_{0^{-}_{\delta F}
1}, restoring to the previous subscript level requires that you
include spacing that account for the included second subscript, i.e.
no overlap of text. I thought !9 meant bracket so was not going to use
it, seems it worked a treat.
Robert.
