[gradsusr] Issues relating to GrADS display window

[Mohit Ved]

Thanks a lot Jennifer,

I am able to do what I wanted with the 'q pos' command. Even my second 
query got solved with this command. When the display window is closed, 
while the GrADS is waiting for the mouse event, the GrADS prompt exits 
(although with an error, but that serves my purpose).

Thanks again.
