Ok, so where is it?  Huh?  Huh?  Where?

I agree.  It's fine in the .geo.

Another thing we need:  Capability to create the .geo file from
within the Xastir GUI.  It'd be nice to bring up an image, click on
two points, type in the lat/long or UTM's (any format), then have
Xastir write the .geo file and index it.  Perhaps we could also do a
similar thing for on-line URL's.

Some of the other map programs have features like this.  It saves
having the user resort to a text editor, which is painful for some.
