Hi,
There is also the "Coordinate Capture" Plugin that allows you to read
out values in any coordinate system, regardless of what you use in your
project.
Turning on "on-the-fly" projection and setting a different projection
has the disadvantage that it is reprojecting your data, which takes more
time and changes the display of your map projection.
So I would propose to use the "Coordinate Capture" plugin, which is
also described in the QGIS manual (QGIS core plugins).
Not sure if it is available in QGIS 1.4. 1.4 is rather old and I would
propose that you update. There is a wealth of new features and bug
fixes.

I'm using qgis 1.4.0-enceladus on Debian GNU/Linux, and although the
release notes specifically state that the coordinates in the status
bar can be displayed in DMS format (degrees-minutes-seconds) rather
than the decimal degrees format, I cannot find anywhere online, nor
within the application, how to accomplish this. Please forgive me if
the answer is already in the archives, I've searched to the best of
my
ability to no avail. Thank you -- jc
