Subject: Problems with polygon data

I'm having difficulty with the syntax for data to the Built-in Polygon type
in Postgres V 3.0. I have seen three different version of the syntax but none
seem to be correct. For example: create s (v=polygon)
the best result I've gotten is from append s (v="(1,2,3,4,5,6)"::polygon)
any data points entered after the 4th position become gibberish.
Am I using the proper syntax for the built-in polygon type?
If not, what is the correct syntax?
Thanks
