[gradsusr] opening descriptor file

Hi there,

I have recently begun using GrADS and going through the tutorial section from http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.htm<http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html.>.  My concern is getting GrADS to read the descriptor file of model.ctl upon entering 'open model.ctl' in my command line.  I understand there can be issue with the file directory that when entering on the script window but after double checking my path name, I can not decipher where it went wrong.

My path name is /Users/jienjerr/Downloads/grads/bin/grads

The graphic output window appears after I have pressed 'enter' following typing my path name but I would get 'Open Error:  Can't open description file' in my command window.

Can anyone please help to point out where I've done something wrong?

Thank you.
