Thanks for providing the information, Andrew. Not knowing anything about<br>
the particular shapefile you used, please try this instead:<br>
<br>
draw shp admin98<br>
<br>
admin98 may be part of your package. If not, try a different shapefile<br>
that includes Australia territory lines. If you get the territory lines,<br>
then the problem may be with your shapefile, or the pathname or shapefile<br>
settings.<br>
<br>
Also, try using different settings for:<br>
<br>
set line<br>
set shpopts<br>
<br>
Double-check the path to your shapefile as well and make sure you provide<br>
it, if the file is not in your SupportData folder.<br>
<br>
