RE: MI Arrrrrrg : Set Coordsys Command

[Jackson, Bill (ETSA Transmission)]

Easy way.  Use the menu MAP/Option/Projection with the mapbasic window
open. and it will show you what you want. 
(eg) Set Map CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 104
Then just drop the Map part
Set CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 104
