Tim,

TeX does not understand \sqrt[n]{} but LaTex does. Try

------- t.tex ---

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$$
\sqrt[n]{x}
$$
$$
\root{n} \of {x}
$$
\end{document}

----------------

latex t.tex
xdvi t.dvi

Texmacs seems to prefer LaTex style input not the old
TeX style.

Cheers,
Bill Page.
