This is a bug in the $GARPHOME/gui/sgridcb.c routine. I placed this 
fixed routine in ~gbuddy/nawips-5.4/patches/garp_2.01 for you
if this is on a system you built gempak on. If this was a binary
distribution you have, let me know so I can post a binary of Garp.

Basically, you have to run GDPROF 3 times, once for tmpc, once for dwpc and
once for hght. UREL and VREL are output each time. In this format, its not
very close to the snlist output, so some post processing would be needed.
