Doug,
Freeview looks like the best way to get what I want. Still trying to figure out how to mark a point in the 3D viewing window, but at least when I mark them in the 2D windows I get all the coordinates I need.
Thanks, -Jeff

tksurfer may be putting all 0s in the RAS field because the head surface does not match the cortical surface (tksurfer is very inflexible in this way). One way around it is to find the vertex number, then find the RAS for that vertex by converting the surface to ascii. freeview might do a better job than tksurfer.

Can you cc the list so others can answer? Freeview can rotate....
