Hello Jeff,

I had tried that, but thought that it wasn't working because I wasn't 
seeing anything on the screen.  I now think that the label parameter 
must be working, because the lines of latitude and longitude are labeled 
in the version of the map that is saved by the program, and that I'm not 
seeing them on the screen because I have black text on a black 
background.  Is there a way to control the color of the text labels?  
Note also that the plot title appears on the screen shot jpeg, but not 
in the version saved by the program.  Any advice will be appreciated.
