Unfortunately, there is no way to directly tell McIDAS that you only want
the images whose center points are at 32S.

>or is there a way?

If the region you want displayed is not covered at all by the latest
image when doing the load, the imgdisp.k invocation will return with
an error status.  You can check this status in your script and not, for
example, then try to produce a GIF (tm) image.  This is the first approach
that I would try.

>Thanks,
