[gradsusr] Map projection difficulty

Hello GrADS users,

I'm attempting to plot some data (already projected on a Lambert grid), and
am having problems where my plot cuts off the southern portion of of my
domain (which I have a feeling is related to the SW corner of my domain).
I've tried setting mpdraw off as well as trying various types of projections
but I end up with the same/similar problem each time.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  My script and CTL file header are below and I've
provided a link to the example plotting problem.  I'm also a new GrADS user,
so if this is a newbie mistake, I apologize in advance!

'set mproj latlon'
'set mpdset hires'
'set gxout shaded'
'run radar.gs'
'set rbcols 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40'
'set clevs 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75'
'd REFD1000m'
'run cbarnew.gs'
'set gxout vector'
'set arrscl 0.5 15'
'set arrlab on'
'd skip(UGRD10m,10,10);VGRD10m'
'draw title 1km AGL Reflectivity and 10m wind'
