Default SYLK files Excel Picture format

Hi all

I'm trying to create some SYLK file to be read in by Excel

I have found (via this newsgroup) this page on wiki pedia that gives most of
the info.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYmbolic_LinK_(SYLK)

It explains the "F record" but not the "P record" format. It simply says
"Excel style picture format"

Can someone tell me where I can find the doumentation for this format ie how
to pick apart

P;P"$"#,##0.00;;\-"$"#,##0.00
P;P_-"$"* #,##0_-;;\-"$"* #,##0_-;;_-"$"* "-"_-;;_-@_-
etc etc

Thanks

Andrew
