projecting

I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to project the US Census' cartographic boundary files, which are "unprojected" when you download them. "Unprojected" means that the coordinates are referenced by latitude and longitude, and is sometimes called "geographic" projection. I think. If I knew how to "define" the current projection, I could easily project it into a new one. again, I think.
