[gradsusr] define a simple scalar

[Joey Woodson]

set t 1
variable1 = const(kanto, 1, -a)
set t 2
variable2 = const(kanto, 2, -a)

where "kanto" is any variable in the file.

AFAIK there is no way to define different timesteps of the same variable in
different ways. A for loop can take care of the trouble involved with using
multiple variables.
