Rename: Getting DBF data for symbology

[Mevima Winn]

There are a couple of ways.

First is to set a transparency level, if the polygons have to be solid.
Underlying polygon doesn't have to have any, while the top polygon can have
any transparency level you want - probably somewhere between 40 and 60% if
you want both to be approximately equally visible.

Or you can simply set an OUTLINECOLOR and no COLOR, which means you will get
an outline and no fill, which will show any underlying polygons as long as
they don't directly overlap the same lines.  Any overlapping lines can be
identified by making the outline line thicker and a different color, so
whoever is viewing the map can see that there are multiple polygons there.

  Also polygons on top of polygons, is there a way to make it so you can see
both?
