[IDV #XZR-605564]: help drawing points in the IDV

Katie,
   Here is a example for you to include the altitude for each point:

<shapes>
  <symbol color="255,0,0" coordtype="LATLONALT" filled="false" 
fulllatlon="false" name="Glyph 1" pickable="true" 
points="40.492287,-109.66205,-2544.8982" scale="1.0" symbol="CROSS" 
zposition="-0.995"/>
  <symbol color="255,0,0" coordtype="LATLONALT" filled="false" 
fulllatlon="false" name="Glyph 2" pickable="true" 
points="43.023838,-105.949104,-2544.8982" scale="1.0" symbol="CROSS" 
zposition="-0.995"/>
</shapes>

One minor change is coordtype, and you need to add the altitude value at each 
point.
