Arup, What is it you are trying to achieve here? Your sen2.xml projection definition seems to be valid. It should be possible to define your own projection via the Projections menu in the view window and have that be the default projection via the Edit -> Preferences, View Tab. At the bottom of this dialog is a Default Projection selection. (You may have to restart the IDV to see the new projection listed.)
