Ideas and suggestions for next edition

[Esteban82]

Based on the questions of the students I think that in the next edition we should show:

1. an example with a shp files. Maybe one from GADM (its licence says "The data are freely available for academic use.").
2. how to work with the user-dir?
3. the DCW-collections.
4. how to add a north and scale (basemap -Td and -L).
5. add transparency (-t)

Other suggestions to discuss:

1. Add legends?
2. how to work with makecpt ?
3. how to add text on the map (gmt text)?

Also I think that we maybe show how to project earthquakes on a profile in order to get something like this. It is more advanced but it is an UNAVCO course and I think that could be usefull for many students.
