Karli,

Happy New Year to you also!

It could be something in your XCD setup. I need more information to
have an idea about what may be going on.

All McIDAS commands accept the global keyword DEV=. This keyword allows
one to save textual output from a command invocation to a file. Here
is one example:
SFCLIST KDEN 24 <- text output goest to console
SFCLIST KDEN 24 DEV=T denverwx.out <- text output goes to ASCII file
denverwx.out

It would suprise me greatly if the same action worked for all users
except 'mcidas'. A consistent failure would mean that the module
imagloop.gui needs to be update to the latest bugfix release.
>Anyway Talk to you later!
It might be a good idea to update your McIDAS-X installation to the
latest release, Version 7.7. This way modules with bugs that have
been fixed will be used instead of ones that need updating. Please
check out:

for more information on Version 7.70.
