A general "map set" tool would be a welcome addition. You've got automaps working for you as a single map set, and if it were replaced by a more general tool designed for that purpose allowing multiple map sets instead of a single on or off map set, that'd be cool. I'd certainly use it. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
