clwidth(thin thick) msymbol(Oh S)
When graphing multiple variables, you
can specify connect and marker symbol
options to control each line. In this
case, we use a thin line for the high
price and a thick line for the low price.
We also differentiate the two lines by
using different marker symbols, hollow
circles for the high price and squares for
the low price.
