Actually, I think now that the reason for this is that
to create symbols 2, 3 and 7 you have to "lift the pen
up" to draw the symbol correctly, and USERSYM doesn't
allow for this.

But, this kind of code produces thicker symbols, not
matter what symbol you use with SymCat:

cgplot, cgdemodata(1), PSYM=symcat(7, thick=3), symsize=3.0, thick=3

It's overkill, but it works. :-)

Cheers,

David
