That is the way I was doing it. But, starting with IDL version 8.0, the map_set was replaced by the map function. As the Help Manual says:
"MAP_SET Procedure - Please see the MAP function, which replicates the functionality of this routine and offers an interactive interface."

The new plotting functions (plot(),surface(),plot3d(),map(), etc) that have replaced the old procedures have big advantages in that you can interactively adjust almost anything and then easily output to any graphic format.
But, I don't see how to get map() reverse the longitude which is required for most astronomical purposes. If I change the limits, it just changes them back.
