That's also what I was suggesting.
Marilyn, the approach in Bodo's code should work for typical boundary data,
although adjustments for the physical format may be necessary. If you need
to see a similar approach in C, I can send you an example.

Hi Marilyn,
you could simply convert your ASCII political boundary layer file to
DX-format, then
IMPORT the converted file in your network, add color (if you didn't do this
at the
file creation stage) and put it together with the rest of your illustration
into
COLLECT before you pass it to IMAGE or DISPLAY.
Obviously your converted boundary data should be in the same spatial
dimensions
(e.g. latitude/longitude coordinates) as the rest of the fields; otherwise
you
may need some geographical projection tools/macros, which are available via
the
DX bonus pack.
If you don't know how to convert your boundary information to DX format, I
have
included a small and rather basic FORTRAN program that I used to convert
coastline
information to DX format. It simply reads latitude/longitude information
from a file
and puts it back in a form suitable for IMPORT in native DX.
Regards,
Bodo
