PlotMarkers Broken

Not only is the help system in 6.0 a giant step backward from 5.x but
ListPlots have been gutted.  TextListPlot and LabelListPlot are both
gone and we are I guess supposed to use PlotMarkers to get the same
functionality.

Unfortunately, no backward compatibility with TextListPlot is possible
since one has to wrap each point up as a one-element list.  But even
doing this PlotMarkers is broken.  For example, in the following for
some unknown reason a '1' is written over each marker making the
result a mess.

ListPlot[{{{1, 1}}, {{2, 2}}, {{3, 3}}},
 PlotRange -> {{0, 4}, {0, 4}},
 PlotMarkers -> {{1, 20}, {2, 20}, {3, 20}}, PlotStyle -> Black]

Please, Wolfram.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Cheers, Scott
