20040610: 20040609: Gempak: plotting new surface file in NMAP

Mike,

I'll also add a footnote in reference to a previous
message I answered a few weeks back:
http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/getfile?file=/content/support/help/MailArchives/gembud-list/msg00771.html

In addition to adding your product to the prmlst.tbl, you can create a table in 
$GEMTBL/nmap which defines the available parameters for your datatype.tbl
alias, s that you can click the "Edit" button un the data window in NMAP2
and have the option of configuring your station plot that way too.
