Hello, On page 1000 of the Mathematica book you can read: "The name of a symbol must be a sequence of letters, letter-like symbols and digits". My question is: What letter-like forms are allowed? Apparently "$" is allowed, additionally, I found, that "§" is allowed. Are there yet other characters, which are allowed? My aim is to use symbols in my package, which do not interfere with symbols, which the user wants to define. Hermann Schmitt
