[gradsusr] hello

[Jovana Perencevic]

Dear,

At first, sorry for late answer, I was in mess.
L.B. your solution works perfectly, thanks for effort.
Kishore, hires doesn't work, if I got my professor right, that make lines
thicker.
Jennifer, I don't know how to use newmap, what format is that, or which
command line should I use (congrats, and thanks for new version)

Bottom line, thanks you all :)

Happy Holidays, have a good time!

Cheers, J.
