Glynn,

   That's true. I've obviously erred when creating new locations and
importing .shp and .e00 files.

   I've used the wxPython GUI to define new locations and the mapset. When I
specify choosing the projection from the list and select LCC I'm asked to
enter the relevant projection parameters. I then specify NAD83 as the datum
and the Washington-Oregon adjustment. Finally, I'm asked if I want to enter
the default region's extent and resolution. This is where I enter the
lat/long coordinates I have.

   Perhaps it's this last step that I have wrong. Should I decline to enter
the extents and resolution and leave those to the information embedded in
the imput data?

   As I've written before it's been a very long time since I last used GRASS
and quite likely that I've mis-used the new GUI.

Thanks,

Rich
