In "README.maps" in the area discussing GNIS files, you talk about filtering the POP_PLACES.gnis file to strip the smaller communities. You give the instruction as;

       awk -F\| '{if ($17 > 1000) print $0}' \
           /usr/local/share/xastir/GNIS/0pop_places.gnis \
           >/usr/local/share/xastir/GNIS/0pop_places_over_1k.gnis

which I am assuming is to be entered as one line. My problem is, when I cut and paste the command I can't figure out am I supposed to have all the spaces between each line? If not, do I splice "\/" or is there a space in there. Also is the > in the third line supposed to be there?

I have tried and tried, but can't get the command to work. It will make the file 0pop... but it is empty.

I want to make a couple of files. One filtering out the less than 1000 and one to make a file for less than 10,000.
