Symbols can be used with the -symbol flag like: [set -symbol struct_name var]
They can't be used in [append].
Also note that if you click and drag a symbol, it outputs the message "drawnumber_motion: symbol" to the console for every pixel you move the mouse.

I am working on some stuff with structs, and was wondering about the types of data that can be stored in a struct. From the documentation, it appears that you can have fields in the struct that are for 'symbol's, except that when I tried to use them, it gave me an error something like "float expected"... does this mean that struct's can't have symbols in them?
Also, have lists been implemented? I have not tried to work with them, but I figured that I could kill two birds with one question (well, actually two, but who's counting...)...
