   [##:##] Command : map # >mapfil
where your "realm" (or '#', see "info realm" or "info  update")  is  -5:5,-6:6
will  type  out  a 11 by 13 sector map and also put the map in the file called
"mapfil".

Also, if you give a ship # instead of coordinates or a realm,  map  will  show
you a small realm around the given ship (assuming you own it).

If  you use nmap, you can get a map that shows new sector designations instead
of old sector designations of your own country.

If you use lmap, you can get a map around a land unit.  If you use  pmap,  you
can  get  a  map  around a plane.  If you use smap, you can get a map around a
ship.  If you use nmap, you can get a map around a nuke.

MAP FLAGS

Optional argument <MAP-FLAGS> consists of map flag characters.  If you specify
an  's' flag, map will put your ships on the map.  If you specify an 'l' flag,
map will put your land units on the map.  If you specify an 'p' flag, map will
put  your  planes  on  the map.  If you specify an 'n' flag, map will put your
nukes on the map.  A '*' will put all on the map.  When  multiple  unit  types
are  selected  they are displayed in the following priority order: nukes, land
units, ships, planes.  To highlight sectors you own, specifiy the 'h' flag.
