That is right, the directories have been reorganized.

This is strange. Are you sure you put your script under

C:\OpenGrADS\Contents\Resources\Scripts

Can GrADS find the other scripts in there? Say,

ga-> run rgbmap256

There are 2 ways of doing this. The simplest is to deposit your scripts
under

C:\OpenGrADS\Contents\Resources\Scripts

This replaces the old lib directory in the new OpenGrADS directory
structure; you can read more about it here:

Or else create a directory of your choice and put your scripts there. Then,
set the environment variable GASCRP to point to this directory.
