I'm trying to use MapInfo 4.1 (for a legacy application) to rotate
labels.

A previous set of statements in my application is to set the label
orientation with:

        set map layer ReplayTable Label Position Below (or
Above/Left/Right)

These are successful.
I then try to rotate the labels with:

set map layer ReplayTable Label Object LabelID Angle 45
print "Setting angle of label " & LabelID
                
the major difference from the previous statement being that if I try to
set the Angle argument for all labels as with the Position argument, I
get a pile of compiler errors (starting with "Incomplete or invalid
label sub-clause").
The "Setting angle" message appears when I run the application, so I
know that the Set Map statement is being executed.  However, the labels
never rotate.  Any idea why, or what I have to do to get them to
actually rotate?

P.S. Thank God that the next version of this application will be using
the ActiveX interface!
