Is there a way to populate the inside perimeter of all the polygons in
a shape file with points about every 1-2 miles? Right now I'm doing
this manually with a shape file containing 200 polygons (not fun!)

In ArcView 3.x you can do that with a rather short Avenue script
containing somthing like:

for each polygon P
for each i in 0..(Polygon.Perimeter/(1 or 2 miles))
pointP = P.Along(i)
end
end
