Also the map_set works when I haven't run the program I wrote, but once I run the program, and then do map_set, nothing comes up. This leads me to think that the ps file I set up in the program isn't closing (even though at the end of the program I say device, /close

When I type help, /device after running the program I get this:
Available Graphics Device, CGM HP LJ NULL PCL PRINTER PS REGIS TEK X Z
Current graphics device: PS

and it continues for a while

but the map isn't printing to that .ps file that I set up either (its not there if I open the file in GIMP)

Thanks,

Wayana
