[gradsusr] Z levels

[L.B.]

Another option is to set the level based on the pressure value 'set lev
(pres lev)', then run 'q dims' and you can find the z value from the
results.

So for instance, if you want to know what z level the 500mb level
corresponds to, do the following two commands:

'set lev 500'

'q dims'
