Syntax

Symbol symbol_expr 

symbol_expr is a Symbol expression, which can either be the name of a Symbol variable, or a function call that returns a Symbol value, for example, MakeSymbol(shape, color, size).

You can also directly assign a string-based style clause into a variable of type Symbol. For example,

dim fnt as Font 
fnt = "Font (""Arial"",0,9,0)" 
'this assignment will work now, and string-based font clause will convert
 Font variable.
