[gradsusr] Grads Bash scripting

[Jeffrey Duda]

Meredith,
Try making your grads script a function by adding the following lines before
and after the regular grads script code:

function main(args)
YY = subwrd(args,1)
name = subwrd(args,2)

...script code....

return

When you call Grads in your script, call it like you are doing pretty much:

grads -lbxc "(script name) ${argument1} ${argument2} ..."

The grads script done this way should include the argument list in the bash
script as the input arguments to the Grads function in your script.
