Paul,
You can do a number of things. If you want to plot a point in your
front window, you can issue the MB command
Create Point Into Window FrontWindow() (-122, 47.5)
where -120, 44 are example X & Y coordinates. Note that this will
create a point in whatever table is marked 'editable'. If you don't
want to edit any tables, set the cosmetic layer editable. You can also
append this statement with a 'Style' clause (you may want to read up on
that).
To Zoom or recenter your window, you can issue the command
Set Map Window FrontWindow() Center (-122,47.5) Zoom 200 "km"
Note that the Center.. and Zoom.. clauses are optional, so you can set
one but not the other if you choose. You may want to learn about the
WindowInfo() method, which allows you to get things like the window
handle. You can use the handle in place of FrontWindow().
Hope this helps!
- Tom
