[gradsusr] Eurocentric global map

Cara,

Check to see if the variable you're trying to plot has been defined 
locally in GrADS and what the longitude range is for it.  I was able to 
replicate the issue by defining a local GrADS variable for lon = (0,360) 
and then when displaying it for lon = (-180,180) the left half was missing.

Hope this helps,
Chuck
