Thomas,
SYMBOL is a clause not a function.
If you want to create a symbol style then
SelectSymb=MakeSymbol(35,16711680,12)
SYMBOL can be used as a "parameter" in some statements like in
create point into varaiable o (12.3,56.7) SYMBOL (35,16711680,12)
The documentation is dispersed through the MB manuals, mainly under the form
of examples.
