[photran] Symbol names containg dollar signs

Hi,

I have a set of sources that originally came from OpenVMS. In OpenVMS
Fortran '$' is a valid character for symbol names. So you can have a
variable called 'abc$def' for example.

The sources compile fine with gfortran, which has the -fdollar-ok option
specifically to aloe names with '$' in them.

When I look at such sources in Photran I see messages in the outline
view complaining about these '$' characters. The text of the message is
'Syntax error: Unexpected extraneous character ...'.

Is it possible to configure the Photran to allow '$' in symbol names? If
so, how is the trick done?

Thanks,
Leigh.
