Hi Larry,

If you want to change our Moon only, you can proceed in this way:
in the Guide directory create a copy of the file STARTUP.MAR and name it (for example) LINEMOON.MAR
With a text editor open LINEMOON.MAR and delete all lines except the one labelled "76 pl maps ".
On that line, change the eleventh entry to the lower-case
letter "f" (the entries are space separated).
If, for example, your line is:

76 pl maps 3 2 0 1 1 2 e 0 e 2 1 e 3 1 0 0 0 ...an so on

the new version must be

76 pl maps 3 2 0 1 1 2 e 0 e 2 f e 3 1 0 0 0 ...

Then insert, at the beginning of the file, the new line:

999 name Transparent Moon

and save the file.
At last, run Guide and load the mark "Transparent Moon" every time you want a transparent, outlined Moon; the other settings will all remain unchanged!
