To create a new map. Are you asking why it doesn't just do this
automatically if the map already exists? Possibly so that you don't
accidentally create a new map if you make a mistake entering the name
of an existing map.

Ignoring it would be trivial; just remove the "if ( new_f->answer ) {"
from around the code which creates a new map.
