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.
