Thanks for the reply Sue.  I'll have to try that next time I need to
make an image map.  I knew about the zoom option, but I never zoomed
in that far :-)

I did some searches through Yahoo! last night after posting and I
found a web-based script that loads the image and then gives the
coords for where you mouse click.  Works pretty well.  If anyone wants
the URL for it, let me know.

Before I did the search on Yahoo! I did find the port of mapedit, but
it requires the JDK and I didn't want to install the 13mb JDK to 
create one map :-)
