Here is how you mix text and graphics in a LDEF:
Create a record that has everything the LDEF will need to do the
drawing (for example, it might be a polygon followed by a string.) Just
set the cell to the entire record.  Watch your step if the data needs
to be aligned to word boundaries (because it has integers in it) but
might be odd in length (because it has strings in it.) If this can
happen, you should pad so you always call LSetCell with an even count.
Or, you can set the cell to a pointer to the record.
