Again, we can certainly do a property to turn this off, but have
the McV people actually tried using this facility with data?  We
are using it for tropical cyclone displays to list the information
about a particular point. This could easily be used to emulate
the Alt-D command currently in McIDAS.

No problem.  We just want to make sure that a useful feature is not
ignored.
