I finally have Outlook Express 5 figured out enough to post replies so
I'm posting here even though I have sent email already to you Steve.
Just so people know I am still here :)
For the curious, Steve had sent me his coordinates as numbers without
decimal places in the degree fields, no minutes. That was the
confusion. Not that it will correct anything probably because I think
I had guessed the correct numbers anyway from what he gave me.
