Enter Land Boundaries, one per line,
in the Boundaries window,
in this format:

  <direction>,<distance>

For <direction> you may use:
  N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW
      OR
  <N|S><degrees><E|W>
      OR
  <E|W><degrees><N|S>

  <degrees> is a number of degrees
   (it may be written as degrees and
   minutes, in the form:
  <number>D<number>M

 For example:
   N37D30ME
   NW
   S43E
   E23.75N
For <distance>, type in the a number,
  followed optionally by a units
  code.

  Units codes:
  R=Rods
  P=Perches or Poles (same as Rods)
  F=Feet
  C=Chains (Note: a Link is .01 chain)

 For example:
  24F
  27R
  187.68C (187 Chains, 68 Links)

If unit code is omitted, unit of
measure defaults to same unit as
preceding boundary.  If first
boundary unit is unspecified, the
default is R (rods).

An optional annotation may be added to
each line of Boundaries text.
Precede such comments with a slash (/)
character.  For example:

N25E,37F /by lands of John Doe

Unknown boundaries:
  If the boundary description contains
  a question mark (?), it is treated
  as an unknown boundary, and no part
  of it is otherwise processed.
  In order to draw a map, there
  may be no more than one unknown
  boundary in any land description.

Caption text
  Text entered in the Caption window
  will be printed as a caption at the
  bottom of the map.  Each caption
  line will be automatically centered
  on the printout.

Special Caption Commands:
  A caption line may begin with one
  of the following commands...

  .A or .Area will print the
  computed area of the land in acres.

  .E or .Extent will print N/S and
  E/W extent information.

  .C or .Closure will print closure
  error information.

  .D or .Desc will print the
  land description (boundaries will
  be listed separated by semicolons;
  annotations starting with "/" will
  not be included).

  .T will cause the text on the
  remainder of that line to print at
  the top of the page, above the
  map.
