Hi,

Please respond back to ncl-talk for all follow-up so that everybody can
benefit from the answer.

I've modified the lcmask_4.ncl script to remove the contouring part and to
show how you might adjust the labels.  I changed the example so that the
longitude range is extended, which causes the labels to flip.
