That's OK Mark, You can add a projection by adding another line of text within the MAPINFO.PRJ. When, for example, you go back to the Universal Translator, your new projection will be within the list you're used to seeing. That's what I mean when I say you can make your own projection. Perhaps we're comparing apples to oranges here? :)

You did not ADD a projection, you just changed parameters for an already existing projection. NOT the same thing at all.
