Hi Kwan,

No worries.

I have never seen any control (meaning keyword) to control the angle at
which text is written by the MAP or PTDISP commands.  The ZA command, on
the other hand, does have this ability:

HELP ZA
ZA -- Writes text and/or symbols on the graphics frame
  ZA color height justify <keywords> "text
Parameters:
  color | graphics color level; 0 for erase (def=1)
 ...
 Keywords:
  Ang= | angle to write text; do not use with the FONT command or global
         keyword, or keywords ENCL or TCYC
 ...

re:
> Thanks again,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
