Howdy,

If you mean that you want to print a _ in your document you need to  
use the command \_ anyway since _ has a special catcode that says it  
should start a subscript in math mode. If you put a \ before the _ it  
will not expand, you will get the proper \_! At least that is my  
experience.

Good Luck,
