20020818: sfgram problem

Brian,

This problem doesn't seem to exist now in the 5.6.h distribution 
I am preparing. Its possible that the problem was originally introduced
when the file templates were introduced for plotting data from multiple files,
but it seems to work OK for me now. If you can tell me what platform you are
using, I can verify that it does infact work on that platform before
making the release.
