17 1) The number of the nth "dot number" figure relative to the current
18    figure (e.g., -1 = first preceding, 2 = second following) is
19    calculated and set into the 'figure' compose variable.  The form of
20    the number is the same as that generated by the dot_fig macro (see
21    dot_fig.compin.info.)  'figure' is used to refer to the desired
22    figure.
