Jonathan -

Thanks for the response. Couple of additional questions:

> I tried your script with Ferret 5.8.1 and it didn't work
By my script do you mean the Ferret commands I included? These were
copied directly out of the "modifying_LiveMap" web page.

> Then I tried it with 5.8.4 and it did work.
Can I install this newer Ferret (v5.8.4) without having redo the entire
LAS install ?

> Then I tried it with our latest release -- 6.0 and it works fine.
Is this the 6.0 release of LAS (v6.5.2.1) you are talking about?


Thanks,
Jeff
