    One way to get rid of this problem is - use parenthesis.."(" ")"


    The character which represents "sqrt" will be something like "V"
(without any horizontal bar)
          sqrt(sqrt(sqrt(5))) can be written as V(V(V(5)))
    otherwise not only the length of the "sqrt sign" would be a problem but
also
        the height of characters following that...
      e.g. in V(2 + V(V(V(V(V(V(5))))))) the height/size of 2 and 5 cannot
be same....

[ You should also look at eqn, the well known unix equation typesetting
package, and the similar equation part of LaTeX. -John]
