This is a result of my movement to the automatic startup of my graphical user interface, MCGUI. The GUI startup that is running only allows for frames of one size, so the last -f flag in .mcidasrc wins. If you want a McIDAS session with multiple frame sizes, you have to run the SSEC McIDAS startup script, mcidasx. Typing mcidas is actually running mcstart.gui, so it will never work. Again, type: mcidasx to start with your hand-edited .mcidasrc settings. Tom
