Thanks for your response Giovanni. OK, now I have the on-the-fly re-projection checkbox enabled in the project settings.
I should mentioned that I am on the OSEGeo4w Windows nightly build version of QGIS. One thing I did notice when the options panel on-the-fly re-projection is enabled is that the the vectors appear now in in WGS84 with the lat/lon's I now recognized. But, when I add an Openlayer Google Satellite Hybrid plugin layer my WGS84 -90.15628, 32.43978 lon/lat display at the bottom of QGIS turns into -10036151.0, 3821178.0 based on based on google's EPSG: 900913. I have never noticed the change in the lon/lat from -90.15628, 32.43978 to -10036151.0, 3821178.0 before when re-projecting with the Openlayer Plugin. Am I just missing something here?
