Hi,

Folmer is correct on both accounts.

First, "select" was selecting across various states into one multistate
selection. Then, the distance command was operating on the first state,
which is its default behavior. So, replace

    select asdf, 1MM2////CA w. 5 of 2kgi///22/CA

with

    select asdf, 1MM2////CA w. 5 of 2kgi///22/CA, state=1

or whichever state you want and try again. (Or use Folmer's suggestion of
splitting out the states.)

Second, please don't hind behind a pseudonym. We don't bite.

Cheers,

-- Jason
