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

[Bob Kuligowski - NOAA Federal]

Mark and Jennifer,

     Thanks for clarifying; I was thinking that all of the arguments had 
to be together after the - sign and that was obviously incorrect.  It 
works now; thanks!

     And I'll definitely be all over version 2.1 once it graduates from 
the alpha / beta stage...just a little nervous about doing RT stuff for 
a Web page until I'm sure the release is stable. Looking forward to it!

Cheers,
Bob
