Steve,

The parameter for GDCNTR is GDATTIM (no "E" at the end). If you are typing 
gdattime, then the program
won't recognize that parameter. Generally, gdattim=fall would be a loop of 
available times. if
you are unsure about what your data file contains, run GDINFO then
at the prompt, type "restore defaults/gdinfo" and then "run" to see a
listing of all grids in your file.
