I tried
In[1]:= Subscript[a, 0] = 1
Out[1]=(* 1 *)
In[2]:= Clear[Subscript[a, 0]]
During evaluation of In[452]:= Clear::ssym: Subscript[a, 0] is not a symbol or a string. >>
In[3]:=
During evaluation of Clear::ssym: Subscript[a, 0] is not a symbol or a string. >>
Clear[a]
In[4]:= Subscript[a, 0]
Out[4]=(* 1 *)
Any idea?
