[OS X TeX] Inline subscripts on some math symbols

[The Trystero]

Is there a way to get subscripts to come directly under symbols like 
\sum, \lim etc. in inline math mode (i.e. when putting them between $$ 
signs) like they do in displaymath etc.?

If I typeset
\[
\lim_{x\to c}
\]

the {x\to c} part comes directly under the "lim" symbol. However, when I use

$\lim_{x\to c}$

The {x\to c} part comes out at the bottom right of "lim" symbol.
