data in multiple files

Howdy folks,

Ok I think I am officially losing my mind.  When I am working with
multiple data/control files if you want to display a variable you need
to specify the filename:

d u_wind.2;v_wind.2

The other way that I thought would work was "set dfile 2."  I have a
series of scripts that I had used to plot metar and buoy data for among
other places the Long Island, NY area:
http://tornado.meso.com/grads/test.tar.gz.  For those of you who might
be able to help me out the script in question is "nyc_zoom_map."  I
know for a fact at some point a month or two ago these worked.  They
use to run 3 or 4 times an hour and the plots would come out fine and I
have not touched them since.  I went to check the images this morning
and now the buoy data (which is being opened as file 2) is not getting
plotted.  If I go one file at a time:

-open metar file
-display metar data
-close metar file
-open buoy file
-display buoy data
-close buoy file

It will work, but that is rather tedious.  That is not even the issue
though, if that is what I need to do I will do it.  But I just do not
understand why my scripts worked (which they definitely did, I have
spoken to multiple people who saw the plots with metar and buoy data on
my site) and now they do not work.  In the tar file I also included a
"metar_alone.gs" and "buoy_alone.gs" to show that the individual files
work.  Thanks for any input people might be able to give me, I really
appreciate it.

Matt
