[Qgis-user] displaying coordinates as DMS

[John Comeau]

That's it! Thank you! Under "Settings", "Project properties",
"General", under "Layer units", the radio button for "Decimal degrees"
was active. I changed to "Degrees, minutes, seconds" and it's working
the way I want. VERY much appreciated -- jc
