Define Command and Wind Vector

[Matt Georgescu]

Greetings all,

In using Version 1.8SL10, I'm having difficulty using the "define" command
in conjunction with a time average of wind vectors.

This command works fine by itself:
d skip(ave(u,t=1,t=10),5,5);ave(v,t=1,t=10)

but if i try to save it for use down the road:
define test = skip(ave(u,t=1,t=10),5,5);ave(v,t=1,t=10)

GrADS displays a Syntax error.

Any help on how to save this variable without displaying it (for further
manipulation down the road)?

thanks,
matt
