[Xastir] GNIS data

I'm working with the local NWS office.... he wanted city names, so I
told him how to create the linked folder z under the maps folder, and
that works.  I send him a file called 0pop_places_over_500.gnis at first
, and that displays the cities.  But he wanted more details, so I sent
him a file called GASC.gnis that contains only towns in GA and SC... but
it's got all of them.  Problem is, that xastir keeps displaying the city
names from 0pop_places_over_500.gnis  even though he's deleted the
file.  And it never shows towns from the GASC.gnis file even though it's
shown and selected in the map chooser.  He's running cygwin xasir that
we compiled about a month ago for him.

How do we purge the 0pop_places file contents, and how do we make it
display the GASC file?  Funny thing is, it's working fine for me on my
cygwin/xastir work PC.
