You may remember that I promised the list that I would ask exegesis for
clarification of the problem concerning the display of selected records as a
GIS overlay. We have discussed the issue with them and there advice is as
follows.
"The filtered mesolithic sites can be displayed in the GIS by selecting all
records in the index, then by pressing the Show Location button. The map
will zoom out to show all the sites (they will be all selected). Other
sites will be visible, but not selected. What we believe the user wishes to
then do is to save the selected objects on another layer - this feature is
not present in the current mapping module.
It is still possible, however, to print just the selected sites by right
clicking to popup the layer control, hide the Mon layer and Add the
selection, setting labels and appearance as required, then close the layer
control. Finally choose a map template and print.

I hope exegesis SMR users will find this helpful.
