F	long/short/short dash

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.
