Listers, Oops!  I completely misunderstood Bill Huber's answer
to how to replicate Map Query in Avenue! A BIG 'Duh'
on my part!  Of course the real answer is very, very simple.
So there is no future confusion I'll post Bill's answer.  Sorry
for the bad information! Pat

  The Map Calculator is IDENTICAL to what you can do in
Avenue: whatever can be done in the MC can be done in Avenue.  For
instance, the Map Calculator expression

         ([grid1] > 0) and ([grid1] < 20) and ([grid2] > 0) and ([grid2]

< 40)

when coded in Avenue will look something like

         theView = av.GetActiveDoc
         grid1 = theView.FindTheme("grid1")
         grid2 = theView.FindTheme("grid2")

         gResult = (grid1 > 0) and (grid1 < 20) and (grid2 > 0) and
(grid2
< 40)

         gThmResult = GTheme.Make(gResult)
         theView.AddTheme(gThmResult)
         ' end of example
