The command "PLOT/VS xlon_var, ylat_var" makes a 2D plot with the plot axes labeled as longitudes and latitudes, if the xlon_var and ylat_var have units of longitude and latitude. But then a "go fland" which should be an overlay, is not drawn as an overlay but just draws the whole globe, wiping out the PLOT/VS marks.
yes? let/units=degrees_east/title=lon xlon = {250,300,320,330,340,350,360}

yes? ! This draws nice lon/lat labeled axes
yes? plot/vs/thick/color=blue/siz=0.2 xlon, ylat
! Check the range of plot axes drawn
yes? show symbol xax_m*, yax_m*

yes? ! fland should do an overlay.
yes? go fland
! But it has not done the overlay, The lon/lat marks are gone and it has not used
! the X-Y range of the PLOT/VS plot.
