Steve Chiswell (the usual GEMPAK support person) is out of town this
week, but in searching the archives with the key CLRBAR=0, I came up
with an answer:

(you can search the archives at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/help_and_documentation/ghgempak.html)

I came up with the particular search first by reading the on-line help for 
the variable clrbar by typing "phelp clrbar" at any GEMPAK command prompt.
It indicated that setting clrbar=0 would work, but the message above says
differently when an image is involved.  Unfortunately, I don't have
a machine I can quickly test the clrbar=0 on to see if there is any change
since 1997 when the reply was given.
