This is a start but its not what is really needed. We need to be able to
save a thematic style which can be applied to any layer for any data. For
example I set the colors, numerical break points, and call it, say,
"Thematic Style for cancer rates" , and then when I load a layer of any
geography (county, census tract, et.) that has cancer data in it I can call
upon the style to display the map in the same way. In this way I can make
cancer rate comparisons by looking at thematic maps which have the same them
properties. A style sheet for thematic maps.

If I understand the question correctly, Maptitude already thought of it too.
There is a very simple way in Maptitude to save thematic settings as
defaults in the geographic layer.
The procedure is:
1. Create the thematic settings the way you wish them to be; value range,
color gradiant, etc.
2. Once the theme is set to your liking choose from the [Tool] pull down
menu , [Geographic File...] and select [Save Settings] at the bottom of the
dialog box.
What this does is save the thematic settings you just created, as well as
any legend setting (Legend title, Theme Titles and labels, Font
Setting...etc) to the geographic file. The next time you open or add that
geographic file to a map, the thematic setting you originally set will be
defaulted to that layer. This is a great feature I've been using for years,
because I do alot of work with gridded data sets.
I hope I understood the question correctly and was able to supply the
correct answer for you, if not...oh, well ;-).
Later on, all!
