## Function Synopsis

    [bndry_lon,bndry_lat] = m_plotbndry(name,varargin)

## Help text

     M_PLOTBNDRY plots text files of Lat,Lon for political boundaries.
     Text files (derived from the DCW) are obtained from
       http://www.maproom.psu.edu/cgi-bin/ian/points/index.cgi

         M_PLOTBNDRY(NAME) plots the state or country specified in the
         string NAME, which may include a path name. The routine will
         then a) search the specified path for a mat-file of that name
              b) search the specified path for an ascii *2pts.txt file
                 of that name, and, if found convert it to a mat-file.
              c) failing that, it will open a file dialog box.

         M_PLOTBNDRY(NAME, ...line properties) will use the specified
         line properties in drawing the boundary.

         [LON,LAT]=M_PLOTBNDRY(...) returns vectors of the boundary
         points.

     Note: If errors occur when a file is first plotted, check that
     the entire file was downloaded.  It should end with two consecutive
     END lines.
