Thanks for the speedy response, 
That is what I needed. I was just missing the : in my time argument.
Thanks,

Andy,

Use an any gempak program (including gdplot):

GVCORD=PRES
GLEVEL=850
GDATTIM=020218/1200F156:020218/1200F240
GFUNC=sub(AVEEU,AVEMRF^020219/0000F144:020219/0000F228)

You can override time, vertical coordinate and level for any 
paremeter using the ^, @, and % parameters as specified in
the "phelp gparm" help.

Also, review the tutorial:
