<DT><I>ptr</I>  </DT>
<DD>A pointer 
from this synset to another.  <I>ptr </I> is of the form: 
<P><blockquote>
 <I>pointer_symbol<tt> </tt>synset_offset<tt> </tt>pos<tt> </tt>source/target 
</I> </blockquote>
 <P>
 where <I>synset_offset </I> is the byte offset of the target synset in the 
data file corresponding to <I>pos </I>. <P>
 The <I>source/target </I> field distinguishes 
lexical and semantic pointers.  It is a four byte hexadecimal field: the 
first two bytes indicate the word num
