>if you don't select any radio button, it will zoom.

Notice that only one of the tools to the upper-right of the map will be 
depressed. When you click on a tool to choose it, it is depressed. The 
default tool is Zoom In. Click on another tool, and that becomes the active 
tool.

Notice, by the way, in the page URL displayed when you get the new map, the 
"command=" argument indicates the action that was carried out, such as 
"zmin" to zoom in or "SW" to pan southwest. Your browser communicates with 
the web server via the page URL, and the web server send it on to Maptitude 
for the Web, acting as the web map server, to carry out the command and 
send back HTML and graphics (PNG, or JPEG for older browsers) to your browser.

>it would be handy if there were a way to pan the map, other than zooming out
>and then back in

Use the compass of arrows at the upper left corner of the map! You can also 
change the scale around the current map center by clicking on the lines 
between the world graphic (smallest scale) and the streets graphic (largest 
scale), in the frame that contains the map width.

By the way, my apologies to Margie for starting this thread with an 
incorrect subject!
