If you right-click a symbol in the Symbol Library, the focus box at the
upper left reflects that symbol. A small dialog box appears; you can choose
either Symbol Options or Properties.
If you choose Properties, you see a Symbol Properties dialog box, which
displays the Symbol description, Data size, Type, and Handle information.
