+>Symbols have no length restriction. They may contain letters, numbers, dots,
+dollar signs, and underscores. They must start with a letter, dot, or
+underscore.</P
+><P
+>LWASM also supports the concept of a local symbol. A local symbol is one
+which contains either a "?" or a "@", which can appear anywhere in the symbol.
+The scope of a local symbol is determined by a number of factors. First,
+each included file gets its own local symbol scope. A blank line will also
+be considered a local scope barrier. Macros each have their own local symbol
+scope as well (which has a side effect that you cannot use a local symbol
+as an argument to a macro). There are other factors as well. In general,
+a local symbol is restricted to the block of code it is defined within.</P
+><P
+>By default, unless assembling to the os9 target, a "$" in the symbol will
+also make it local.  This can be controlled by the "dollarlocal" and
+"nodollarlocal" pragmas.  In the absence of a pragma to the contrary, for
+the os9 target, a "$" in the symbol will not make it considered local while
+for all other targets it will.</P
