[1] !-s2;b7,4-
< [2] !-s0;t*7-<!+grid(8-,c)3+

[3] !-s1;t*3-!+grid(b)2+
[4] !-s0;t*13;b7,3-!-t*16-!+grid(h)+
> [5] !-s0;t*3-!+grid(g9)+!-t*12->

[1] skip 2 lines; draw a box 7 characters wide, 4 characters deep.
[2] skip to a new line; start at column 8; draw a left arrow-head

arrow-head (">").
[6] !+grid( 4,-,b2)2,( 2,d3,e3,f),( 5,)+



[7] !-s3-!+grid(d5,e5,f),( 5,)4,( 4,-,h2)+


[6] vertically expand for 2 lines [4 blanks, a
