Hi David,
Yes, I did get the box axes working (though not on all four sides of the plot like the original). Adding the /box_axes to the MAP function does the trick. In this example, something like:
m=MAP('cylindrical',/box_axes,limit=limit,title=title,positi on=position,center_longitude=300)
worked pretty well. But, if you're referring to getting the labels to show up on all four sides, I'm afraid I don't have the key to that.
Brian
