That's strange. It's supposed to work like you think. Are you sure you 
have defined this table in a location where it can't be overwritten by 
something else? (input buffer, hgr screen, string space etc) And that 
E8~E9 points to it?

I don't think so. Shapes are numbered from 1 to the number of shapes. 
But I've tried it out and XDRAW 0 doesn't give me an error. Hm.

No, there is no XPLOT. Some books mention XPLOT as "a reserved word that 
does not correspond to an Applesoft token" or something, but never mind 
that. Forget XPLOT.
