                                Command : MAP

 SYNTAX:
   [##:##] Command: bdes <SECT> <des>

A bmap gives you a graphic representation of all  or  part  of  your  country.
Bdes allows you to change a sector of your bmap.

Bmap differs from map in that it reflects everything you've learned about  the
world.  If, for example, you navigate near a sector and find out that it is as
sea, it will show up on your bmap as sea, even if it doesn't show up  on  your
map.

When you get new information, it will overwrite the  designation  you  put  in
with  bdes,  UNLESS you put in an 'x' or an 'X'. These two characters, 'x' and
'X' are permanent, unless you manually change them with bdes. Once you  change
them  back, the sector will be updated normally by nav, march, etc.  (The nor-
mal use for these is to record minefields, so that you can march  adjacent  to
the minefield without eliminating the information)

Unlike normal designation, with bdes, you may use any character.  If you  wish
to use a space, surround it with double quotes:  bdes # " "

                                Command : MAP

You can't bdesignate something to a ?

Conditionals do not work with bdes (i.e. bdes # ?des=c C) unless you  own  the
sector.
