[LABELING AREAS]

This is exactly what I did with the sed command. The dig_ascii listing was
to show where the L A switches are located...

I guess I wasn't clear enough...

Leslie,

The problem with your grass file is that grass thinks your area are
lines. You must edit the dig_ascii file an change the "L" to "A".
before you import the file.
