[GRASSLIST:1531] Re: Site display problem

[Kevin Slover]

Thanks Paul..
	Something I hadn't thought about really... and voila, that was the 
problem... hmmm... interesting, very interesting... so this means that 
the format of each line MUST be the same, or it will not plot... raising 
a slight problem, but I will figure something out...

Thanks for the insight, something I have never dealt with before, and 
some very valuable insight... guess I must go and create my own site 
files as a work around...
