 The program activates the mouse, and expects the user to indicate the 
 location(s) to be queried by depressing a mouse button over desired location(s) 
 within the current geographic region in the active display frame on the 
 graphic monitor. Query results from map(s) are by default displayed in a new 
 monitor, where label values can be added or changed. Using parameter <b>-x</b>

+This module always reports standard acres, even when the location uses
+US Survey feet as the map unit.
