No, FullWrite doesn't have equations yet.  You could use the drawing
environment, but it would be tedious.

HOWEVER, if you look at FullWrite under ResEdit, you'll see that there are
small icons in the program with sigmas on them.  It seems pretty obvious that
someone at Ashton Tate/Ann Arbor intends to add equation formatting to
FullWrite.
