[gradsusr] help with script

[Alan Robock]

Dear Jeff and Bill,

Thanks for the advice, but it still did not work.  I did not have any tabs to start with.

It turns out I first wrote this in Word and then pasted into a text file on the computer.  The minus sign was converted into a long - sign in Word, and grads did not like that.  I also made sure all the ' were not the fancy ones.  Then it ran.

Alan

Tabs are not allowed... Replace the tabs with 2 spaces... Try this:

i = 1
tp = 9.8
while ( i <= 8 )
?? tp = tp ??? ( i - 1 ) * 1.2
?? bot = tp ??? 1.2
?? j = 1
?? left = 0.5
?????? while ( j <= 5 )
?????? left = left + ( j - 1 ) * 1.5
?????? rt = left + 1.5
?????? ???set vpage' left rt?? bot tp
?????? e = (i-1)*5 + j
?????? ???set E??? e
?????? 'set grads off'
?????? ???d ensmn???e ???- tale5yrmn.2???
?????? ???draw title DPLE ensemble anomaly??? e
?????? j = j + 1
?? endwhile
?? i = i + 1
endwhile

Try this and see if it works.

Regards,

Bill
