In the sense of a linguistic symbol, logical names are symbols.  But in
the context of DCL, DCL symbols are a special kind of symbol,
essentially a DCL variable.  Logical names are not really part of DCL,
though of course there are DCL verbs to get and set logical names.
"Symbols" in VMS parlance are actually part of DCL.
