Placing text labels on two-way graphs
-------------------------------------

	  ^labvar^ yvarlist xvar [^if^ exp] [^in^ exp]^,^ ^labtxt(^string^)^ ^labxy(^string^) ^
                [^psize(^integer^)^] [graph options]

This is an extension of the (two-way) graph command allowing one to
place a list of labels at specified x,y values on the graph.  All
(two-way) ^graph^ options are supported.  There are two additional
options:

^labtxt^   specifies a semi-colon delimited list of strings to serve
         as labels, e.g., labtxt(label one; label two).
         
^labxy^    specifies a semi-colon delimited list of x,y pairs indicating
         where to center the labels on the graph, e.g., labxy(5,1;4,2)         

One graph option is modified.  In ^graph^, ^trim^ defaults to 8 and has
a maximum value of 32.  The labels specified in this command will be 
trimmed by the ^trim^ option.  In this command, ^trim^ defaults to 
32.

The ^psize^ option works as in ^graph^ and controls the size of the 
text in all the labels.

Note, the label will appear at the specified y coordinate.  The x
coordinate of the label will be the value of xvar that is
closest to the requested x coordinate.
