The original question is at the end.
My thanks to Scott Webb who sent me the following code fragment that makes a
composite symbol using a filled triangle:
m1 = BasicMarker.Make
m1.SetStyle(#BASICMARKER_STYLE_PATTERN)
m1.SetSize(14)
m1.SetColor(itemColor) 'itemColor is the color to use for the symbol; this
was defined by another script
m1.SetFont(Font.Make("ESRI Geometric Symbols","normal"))
m1.SetCharacter(36)

m2 = BasicMarker.Make
m2.SetStyle(#BASICMARKER_STYLE_PATTERN)
m2.SetSize(14)
m2.SetColor(Color.GetBlack)
m2.SetFont(Font.Make("ESRI Geometric Symbols","normal"))
m2.SetCharacter(66)
cm = CompositeMarker.Make(SymbolList.FromList({m1,m2}))

legList = {classList.get(0), classList.get(1),
cm, classList.get(2), classList.get(3)}
mwatLegend.setclassinfo(i, legList)

Here's the code I finally used to draw a composite marker:

theLegend = theTheme.GetLegend
aSymList=theLegend.GetSymbols
thePalette = av.GetSymbolWin.GetPalette
theMarkerList = thePalette.GetList(#PALETTE_LIST_MARKER)
theColors=thePalette.getlist(#PALETTE_LIST_COLOR)
aSym=aSymList.Get(0)
aSym=themarkerlist.get(9)
aSym.SetColor(theColors.Get(8))
aSym.SetSize(20)
aSymList.set(0,asym)



ORIGINAL QUESTION:

I am using the following piece of code when adding a point theme in a view
as a triangle (Symbol # 2)

  theMarkerList = thePalette.GetList(#PALETTE_LIST_MARKER)
  aSym.Copy(theMarkerList.Get(2))

This works fine.  However, what I'd really like to do is use a triangle with
an outline (Symbol # 9). Because this is a composite marker I get an error
message. How can I use composite markers in a script?
