If you want to use one of the characters
reserved for coding purposes as the plotting symbol, precede the
character with a \. The characters c
and z must also be preceded with a \
because of their special meaning to the key. To use
any other character as a plotting symbol, enter it as an argument
to sy or when prompted.
Symbols (except for lines) may be used within text by using
the four character sequence \[## where
## is 00 for symbol 0 (a
circle), 10 for symbol 10, etc. A line segment
containing one of the line patterns may be inserted into text
using \*X, where substituting A for
X selects line-pattern A (dotted),
B selects line-pattern B (short-dashed), etc.
