[IDV #WBS-112970]: IDV - mm5 model output in foreign projection

Have you displayed the data yet?  The "None Defined" would indicate
that you have not yet displayed the data in it's native projection.
This menu is populated by the projections of data that have been
displayed (hence the title "from displays").

Is the Projections->Auto-set Projection menu checked when you try
to display the data?

Another thing to check would be the Data Source properties.  Use
the Data-><data source name>->Edit->Properties menu to look
at the Spatial Subset tab and see if the map shows the area
that you think it should be covering.

Lastly, if the data doesn't display, could you provide a sample
file?
