First of all, thanks for the replies on my first post. Even though I 
thought I figured out how to fix it I guess what I did had no effect. 
Regardless, it is working now and for that I am thankful.

Now the next question.  I intend to use Xastir primarily in the field 
which will have no internet connection.  Could someone point me in the 
right direction on how to store maps locally on the computer so it will 
not go out to the net and retrieve them.  I see that maps can be stored 
locally and I understand where to put them. I just need to know is there 
an automated process of saving maps (preferably street level or topo's) 
on the hard drive?

I am looking at setting up a directory structure like such:

/States
    /Illinois
       /Sangamon
       /Macoupin
       /Montgomery  
       ETC.....

Eventually I would like to have individual maps that would cover each of 
the counties in Illinois.

Thanks for all the help.

Jess
