watch/warning updates

[Russ Dengel]

      WWDISP displays the watch/warnings by counties. I think Robert is 
after the polygons that are now included at the end of the notices as a 
list of LAT/LON.  As far as I know, the only McIDAS app that produces a 
polygon plot is the Tornado warning plotter in the McIDAS development 
set.  Here is an example

     http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/data/paw/tornado/torwarn_101606_070.gif

     This is currently active tornado warning The BLACK/YELLOW region is 
the polygon included at the end of the warning text.
