Mike: Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll do that!  And again, thanks for
all the work you've put into enhancing the API and helping neophytes
better understand it.  (I made a little donation to Blackpool last
week - very cool program you guys have.)

Marcelo: Since you brought it up. I didn't post a link because my
question has nothing to do with a specific implementation or debugging
issue (in the suggested posting guidelines, that's the whole rationale
for linking to a map implementation).  It's a theoretical question,
and posting a link to my map would only serve to demonstrate that, yes
indeed, eShapes was written under the assumption that the Earth is
spherical - something that's not in need of demonstration.  I was
actually originally going to just email Mike directly.  However, in
hopes that this thread might be of use to someone in the future with a
similar issue, I decided to post here for posterity.  I only respond
to your comment in order to make this suggestion: While I certainly
understand your potential frustration with posters who might request
help solving a coding problem and yet fail to include a link to the
actual problem, perhaps in the future it would be prudent to consider
the nature of the question before responding in fashion with an overly-
generalized interpretation of the posting guidelines?  (More
pointedly, passively dismissive phrases like "the least you could
do..." certainly don't encourage new community members to participate
in discussion or improve their abilities via questions.)
