Ah, ok, sorry. I didn't realize I put that there. So, now
I have removed the second grid, and I have a single grid.
But, I want the grid lines to recede into the background
of the plot. I don't want them to be the strongest visual
element in the plot. I want people to concentrate on the
data!

I've figured out how to retrieve the grid from the map
object, and I can change its color and presumably other
properties, but this also changes the color of the
labels, which I *don't* want to do. Is there a way
to have my cake and eat it too, without creating
a second grid, perhaps without labels, that I stack
on top of the first?

Cheers,

David
