Specifying symbol style when creating points in MapBasic.

Question:
How can the symbol style be specified when creating points in MapBasic?

Answer:
After the Create Point statement, specify the symbol:

Create Point [Into {window window_id | Variable var_name}]
(x,y)
Symbol(shape, color, size, fontname, fontstyle, rotation)

i.e.
Create Point (-75, 43) Symbol(65, 65280, 14, "MapInfo Real Estate", 0,0)

This will put a Green Martini Glass, size 14, at location(-75, 43).
