Location label or symbol

Hi Bill,

I'm making a series of eclipse maps centered on Ireland. I enter
specific paleolithic sites in user_loc.txt as the observing location
in the "Settings/Enter location name" dialogue, for example,

N 53.7441
W 7.1325
alt 244
Cairn L
Loughcrew Cairn L

If I use Cairn L as the observing location, "Conjunction Finding" and
"Show Eclipse" gets the map page. Then if I click on "Goto/Enter
location name", the map will center on Cairn L. I can't simply
create a label, the city symbol has to be at the exact site of Cairn
L. However, I need maps centered on Ireland with the location of
Cairn L showing. So I have to click "Country.../Ireland", and that
works fine. I'll be doing this for various archaeolagy sites. If
there's a way to make luser_loc.txt entries show on maps, it would be great.

To tell the truth, there probably is a way, I just don't know how to do it! <G>
