I'm curious to know  where you saw this.

There may be some issues with the sigma level support in the IDV, but
for the simple height plot, it should work.  Could you try downloading
the latest nightly build and see if it works better?  You can
access that at:

If that doesn't work, is there the possibility of you providing one
of your files via ftp or http so I can look at is?
