Gustavo, I've attached a slightly modified script - edited for use on my system and also to produce only a single image for testing - with the result attached. I copied $GEMTBL/colors/coltbl.xwp_white to $GEMTBL/colors/coltbl.xwp prior to running this script. I believe the reason for your troubles stems from the control of $MAPFIL (note the syntax for defining this variable in arg.sh - the leading $ but be escaped!). $MAPFIL which is a hidden variable for GEMPAK programs and requires explicit definition each time you wish to use it different. Simply put, if you define $MAPFIL in one script, GEMPAK programs will "remember" this definition in all subsequent plots until $MAPFIL is redefined or reset to default ( hipowo.cia ) Give it a shot again on your end to confirm that $MAPFIL is being set correctly and you should see the map boundaries displayed with correct colors.
