[gradsusr] Setting missing values (or any value) to undefined

The maskout(WC,WC+119.9) option didn't work.  I've tried playing with
different numbers but still get weird gradients.

Can I include more than one value for the UNDEF variable in the ctl file?
The documentation doesn't suggest so.

Thanks,
