	SUBROUTINE POINT(N, FILE, X, Y)
C************************************************************
C
C  THIS ROUTINE INSERTS AN ABSOLUTE (INVISIBLE)
C  POINT AT USER (X, Y).
C
C  POSSIBLE ERRORS:
C	NONE
C
C  WARNING:
C	IF ANY DISPLAY FILE CONTAINS A CALL TO POINT, THEN
C	THE DISPLAY FILE IS NOT STRICTLY RELOCATABLE. THE
C	FILE MAY BE MOVED, BUT ONLY THAT PORTION OF THE
C	DISPLAY PRIOR TO THE POINT WILL CHANGE POSITION.
C
C	HOWEVER, CALLS TO POINT DO HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES.
C	WHEN BUILDING RELOCATABLE DISPLAY FILES, ERRORS IN
C	POSITION (DUE TO ROUNDOFF, AND INTEGER APPROXIMATION)
C	TEND TO PROPAGATE. IF IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL TO HAVE
C	A RELOCATABLE DISPLAY, AN OCCASSIONAL CALL TO POINT
C	WILL RESULT IN A MORE ACCURATE DISPLAY FILE.
C
C  ROUTINES CALLED:
C	SETSTA - RETURNS A STATUS-A INSTRUCTION
C	ADWORD - ADDS A WORD TO THE DISPLAY FILE
C	SETGM  - RETURNS A S.G.M. INSTRUCTION
C	IPHYSX - RETURNS RASTER IX OF USER X
C	IPHYSY - RETURNS RASTER IY OF USER Y
