                          4    HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS

              (a)   Select  a  background  color before you generate a
         map.  Try a yellow map on a black background. First erase the
         screen.  Then  use  Fill  with  a  solid black color. Finally
         select   pen   and   a  yellow  color  before  selecting  the
         projection.


              (b)   Draw  a  map  with  the  pen size set to medium or
         broad.


              (c)   Resize the window making it 1/4 or 1/2 the size of
         the screen. Then draw a new map. You will get a miniature map
         properly  scaled  to  the  smaller  window size. By using the
         scroll  bars  on  the  right and lower window borders you can
         select  open areas of the window to draw more miniature maps.
         Finally  resize  the  window  to  full  size  and  all of you
         miniature  maps will be displayed together. Be sure to cancel
         erase between each new map. Otherwise only the last one drawn
         will remain.


              (d)   Use  the  graphics  program  Degas  from Batteries
         Included to print your maps. When a map is loaded into Degas,
         the  menu  bar and window from Maps and Legends do not appear
         on  the picture. You can also use these programs to add cloud
         patterns,  political  boundaries  and weather symbols to your
         maps. Degas can load all three screen resolution maps.


              (e)   Maps  and  Legends is a very large program. If you
         have  trouble running it on a 520 ST try removing or renaming
         some  of  the  desk accessories (particluarly DESK2.ACC) from
         your boot disk to make a little more room for the program.


              (f)   The UNDO key erases the last fill or draw but only
         if  you  do  NOT  move the cursor outside the drawing area or
         activate any of the pull-down menus.
