Extended Definition:

1. Normally, text strings are composed of alphabetic, numeric, or '_' (underscore) characters, and start with an alphabetic or '_' character. They may be of any length. For more information, see Using Extended Names.
By enclosing the text string in double quotes, you may use other printable characters, or start the name with a numeral. If a text string contains other printable characters, or starts with a numeral, you must always quote the text string when entering it.
