line with arrows

[joerg pfeiffer]

thanks a lot! That's what I needed.
First i had some probems with webdings, but then I changed the symbol to:
SYMBOL
        NAME "arrow"
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        FONT verdana
        CHARACTER ">"
        FILLED true
        ANTIALIAS true
        GAP -70
END

best regards
Joerg
