Wanhong,

For the gpmap script below, you haven't set LUTFIL, so it looks like you
have gotten gray from somewhere else.
Try setting: LUTFIL=default

Are you launching NMAP and NMAP2 from ntl? If not, then you won't have the
shared color map segment for use with the other programs. Make sure you 
are running ntl to launch the GUIs.
