If you are using geographic plots, the chances are that you want to add "/iso"
to the map_set, which make the x- and y- coords represent the same lengths.

If you want to change the size of ps output, well, probably you want to
look at David Fannings page, but in brief, you can say:

device,xoff=xthing,yoff=ything,xs=xsize,ys=ysize

See the manual for more info...
