## usage: title (text)
##
## Defines a title for the next plots
##   The special character `#' followed by another special character may be
##   used for special text manipulation, eg ';x#u2#d;' prints `x^2' in math,
##	 and `title("#gS#u5#b#d#dn=1#u") prints \sum_{n=1}^{5}.
##
##		#u superscript, end with #d
##		#d subscript, end with #u
##		#b backspace
##		## # itself
##		#+ toogle overline mode
##		#- toogle underline mode
##		#gx greek letter x
##		#fn switch to normal font
##		#fr switch to roman font
##		#fi switch to italic font
##		#fs switch to script font
##		#(nnn) hershey character nnn
##
##		For special fonts, the extended charset must be loaded first,
##	 	use `plfontld(1)' to set, and `plfontld(0)' to return to normal.
