All coordinates +are expressed in mils, i.e., 1/1000 of an inch (just like fizz!). Coordinates +can be negative or positive and are denoted by matching parentheses of +the form (X Y). Symbols require quotes around them if +not made up of numbers, letters, $ or a _. +.sp +.I Data types +.PP +There are 15 data types identified by their reserved word.
