1. Name the "frame" or "container" that holds the map and axes
2. Name the "contents" or "overlays", i.e. the actual maps.

When you click on a map interactively in Surfer, the status bar in the lower left corner of the window reports the map frame to the left of the colon and the overlay to the right of the colon, as in "Map: Base".

'To name the parameters in the Scripter, first name the map.
frame (left side of colon).
...MapFrame1.Name = "Frame1"

'The next step is to name the overlay map (right side of colon)
...ContourMap.Name = "Base97"

'If you stop the script here, the ID displayed in the status bar is:
..."Frame1: Base97"

For an example script that demonstrates how to name components of a map, use the free Scripter script Naming.BAS.
