I don't want to do that.  I'm simulating a new user (or a
new-to-dbfawk user) that doesn't have the correct files in place.
The default behavior shouldn't corrupt the entire map screen, right?

With the latest fixes you suggested (that I just checked in to CVS),
will the default behavior be correct now?  I mean, will it not
stipple the entire map screen?

The default is fine.  I get the state borders only, which is what I
want anyway.
