     HLSYM

     HLSYM defines the characteristics for the HILO symbols specified
     in HILO.  The text sizes, value position, fonts, text widths and
     hardware/software flags are specified for the symbols (s) and 
     plotted values (v) as:

	sizes;sizev/position/fonts;fontv/widths;widthv/hwflgs;hwflgv

     The size, font, width, and hw flag are the same as the TEXT 
     variable.  If only one value is given, it is used for both the
     symbol and value.  

     The value plotting position may be 1, 2, or 3 where 2 is the 
     default.  The number selects the position of the value string 
     beneath the symbol string.  The three positions are shown below:

				   H
				1  2  3

     It is common for HILO symbols near the edge of the display to be
     hidden when hardware text font is used. Therefore, when using
     hardware text font, the number of HILO symbols displayed may be
     slightly less than what the user specifies.
 
     Examples:

	HLSYM = 2;1/3/2//HW  --	symbol text size = 2
				value text size = 1
				plot value in position 3	
				hardware text font 2 applies to both

	HLSYM = 2/1/1;2/     --	symbol text size = 2
				value text size = 2
				plot value in position 1	
				symbol text font = 1
				value text font = 2
