Text in Graphics Sequence display - 3

RE my following email from yesterday,
I am having troubles getting the 'Sequences and ends' column in the Sequence
Graphics display to work for composite sequences, in either xace-4.7, in
WebAce,
or in AceBrowser.

This is in addition to troubles getting the 'Brief Identifications' to work.

If someone could let me know what tags control these displays, or what methods
are appropriate, and what modifications I need to make in *.wrm files, or
whatever, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks
  -Doug
