[gradsusr] Is there a way to run GrADS with the -m argument in batch mode?

[Mark Sponsler]

To increase the memory allocation above the stadard 2 gig (to say 3 gig):grads -m 3000000  The -m option must be specified when grads is started. Set it in the BAT file you use to kick off you batch jobs like:grads -m 3000000 -blc 'script.gs'

The amount of RAM you allocate is a function of the amount of RAM installed and available on your machine. 
In your example, you're trying to allocate 20 gig. 

Thanks,Mark

All,
    I'd like to make images of some larger datasets so I need to use e.g., grads -m 20000 to expand the buffer.  However, when I try to use that particular argument in a shell script (instead of from the command line) the 20000000 trips it up; I've tried a bunch of combinations and nothing seems to work.  Is there another way to expand the buffer when running in batch mode?  Thanks!
