[gradsusr] Issues With Calling "T = 1" Dimension Via Q Dims

[Jeff Duda]

subwrd considers only consecutive characters as a string.  Thus the phrase
"T = 1" is really considered to be three separate strings as far as subwrd
is concerned.  My advice is to manually set the string "T = " in your
script, then just pull the final value using subwrd(ftime,9).
