Good idea! Haven't thought about that, as I need shaft sympols dearly and 
was focused on that. But as I just have finished the third therion mine 
map, and have many more I need to work onto stacked up during the last 
years (even such without shafts into them), I will outsource the layouts 
of the maps I made so far at once. Next step.

Best of all: if I combine both methods of linking stuff in, layouts and 
metapost code, I can now change my shaft symbols easily and centrally. 
This will make it very easy to re-view them very fast in many different 
maps, easily scriptable, and even better, change them in all maps at once 
if I made a workable version. Which may take a while, I fear.

Best regards, and extra thanks for re-hinting which should have been 
obvious to me,
