Thanks, that was too easy, what threw me off was the two units settings
in the scalebar.map file.  I caught the miles one but not the feet one.

	It's in the scalebar.map file.  You will need to change the
units in the scalebar object to miles.  Also if you are using county
coordinates make sure you have units parameter under the map object set
to feet.  The ones that come with the demo are set to meters I believe.

	Where is the setting to change the scale bar to miles?  It is
displaying the right text but the scale is off by a factor of 3.28.
	 
	Thanks,
