Of course the '' trick does not produce any other symbol, but it does
produce the same symbol in postscript as on the display. cgSymbol
works for this and any other symbol. My double-single quote trick is
just a trick I thought worth sharing.

One advantage of cgSymbol is that the symbols it produces
will work both on the display and in a PostScript file.
Normally, this is a hassle to program, since different
values have to be used on the display and in a PostScript
file. :-)

From the "more than one way to skin a cat" department: xtitle='U'' (m/
s)'
