[gradsusr] saving more than one variable in one file

Hello!
If you want to write time series of both the variables
of 60 times each, then in the ctl file to open
newly created data, make following changes:
> tdef 103 linear jan1900 1yr
change to
tdef 60 linear jan1900 1yr
With this change both variables are defined
for time series of 60 times each.
Hope this will match newly created variable with
that from original data.

Use the -ap flag with 'set fwrite' to append to an existing file. Also, it is not necessary to define N3 and N4 before displaying them -- why waste the memory? Simply change your 'define' to a 'd' and then you can remove the two 'd N3' and 'd N4' lines.
