And I have had a similar problem with both 4.0 and 4.1 (hoped it
had been fixed by now).  For small areas in lat long, the data
entry page does not seem to accept the very small values needed 
for resolution - so it cant display.  In 4.0 we kluged the 
program to divide the value input by 100 before plotting - this
worked but was a pain.  Is there another solution?
