Syntax: name
A symbol is a name that represents a register, a segment address,
an offset address, or a full 32-bit address. At the FORTRAN source
level, a symbol is simply a variable name or the name of a
routine; you do not need to know what kind of address it
represents. Symbols are never case sensitive with the FORTRAN
expression evaluator. The Case Sensitivity command from the
Options menu is ignored.

In assembly-language displays and output from the
Examine Symbols (X?) command, CodeView displays public symbol
names in the object-code format produced by the compiler. This
format includes a leading underscore.
Only public symbols (such as procedure names) are shown in this
format. For example, the main routine in your program is displayed
as '_main'. You do not need to include the underscore when
specifying such a symbol in CodeView commands.
Labels within library routines or modules without CodeView
information are sometimes displayed with two underscores
(__chkstk). You must specify both underscores when using these
labels in CodeView commands.
