<br>
Thank you all for your help. I finally got it working. I had the
cases<br>
wrong on a couple of the instances of 'count' . Once I made them all the<br>
same, it worked.<br>
<br>
Here is another quick question, when I save the image, I use the following<br>
format:<br>
<br>
'printim GFS-'count'.png x1280 y960'<br>
<br>
This saves an image with the file name: GFS-1.png<br>
<br>
What do I need to do to get it to save with a double digit count as follows:<br>
GFS-01.png<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your assistance.<br>
<br>
Jason<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I tried that, and now I get an error that says "Set error, missing or<br>
invalid arguments for T option, then is starts looping the first timestep.

Hi<br>
After the while<br>
'Set t 'count<br>
<br>
....<br>
Then the next time around the time step will increase ( count = count +1)<br>
ie/ one time step advanced)<br>
<br>
Should work then<br>
<br>
Cheers Howard<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I almost have this working, but it does not advance through the timesteps.<br>
It loads the first timestep, saves the image, then clears the screen, and<br>
then loads the first timestep again, saves it, and so on.<br>

Below is the script I set up to test this, so perhaps you can see where I<br>
went wrong. Thanks!<br>
