you could try the below simple way, you need to keep bracket where ever there is southern latitudes or negative values. Your larger map do not have 5W location in it on left side so I kept the sample below to draw from 5 E 100E
yes? go box 160 100 (-40) (-20)
yes? go box 5 100 45 60
Hope this helps,

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to plot a simple box outline over a map to show the location of a particular area. Using Ferret v6.82, if I do the following command, I get a nice box outline over southern Australia:
set region x=100E:100E/y=-90:90
yes? go fland 20 white
go fland
plot/vs/over/nolab/line=10 {-135,-140,-140,-135,-135},{-32,-32,-36,-36,-32}
However, I am having difficulty trying to plot the following two boxes:
a. over the south-central Pacific Ocean (160W through 100W, and 40S to 20S)
b. over the British Isles (5W through 5E, and 45N through 60N)
Any suggestions on how I can do this?
Thanks!
