Does that imply that for just labeling regular roads (with text, no symbol),
that this can be done in a single layer?  I'm currently using two separate
LAYER's for this, one with TYPE LINE to draw the roads, and a second with
TYPE ANNOTATION to label the roads.  If I can combine them, which TYPE do I
use?  (I'd guess ANNOTATION.)
