Mike,

Happy New Year to you also!

Displaying the imagery how?  What exactly did you run; from what machine(s)
did you run it; what user were you logged in as when you ran it?

Logged in as 'mcidas' (I took the liberty), I can list and display
the various images from a MCGUI invocation.  I was also able to plot
and coutour surface data with no apparent problems..

Hmm...  I did the following in the 'mcidas' account to make the REDIRECTions
in ~mcidas/workdata/LWPATH.NAM ordered:

cd ~mcidas/data
redirect.k ADD LWPATH.NAM \".

It was after this that I ran my tests.

>The surface and raob point data are current

Hmm...  Perhaps the redirect.k action above fixed up your REDIRECTions
to the point that they would work.  This doesn't make sense to me,
however, since I was able to list the data before doing this, and
I could see the newer images.

>I've checked all of the data paths and I think that they're set up
>properly...I'm stumped.

Things did seem to be setup correctly, so aside from the redirect.k
stuff above, I don't have a clue unless this was done from a different
account.

>Suggestions?

If the problem is with a different account, I suggest trying the
redirect.k action above (in the ~user/mcidas/data directory for that
user).

>Thanks in advance!

No problem.  Please keep me posted.

Tom
