Hi Justin,

You don't tell me if you're using D2D or NCP.  D2D I don't know off the top of 
my head.  NCP you can edit the attribute file in the Manage Data tab of the 
Data Loader. There you can change the displayed parameter in GEMPAK syntax 
(e.g. p06m to p06i) and adjust colors, line style and other variables.
