Donna,

I was able to create a blank skewt snprof by setting the
LINE, STNCOL, WIND, and TITLE colors to 0, for a given sounding
plot, eg:

 SNFILE   = uair
 DATTIM   = 1200
 AREA     = @dnr
 SNPARM   = tmpc;dwpc
 LINE     = 0
 PTYPE    = skewt
 VCOORD   = pres
 STNDEX   =  
 STNCOL   = 0
 WIND     = 0
 WINPOS   = 1
 MARKER   = 6/15/5/2
 BORDER   = 3/1/1
 TITLE    = 0
 DEVICE   = xw
 YAXIS    = 1020/100//1;1;0
 XAXIS    = -35/35/5/1;1;0
 FILTER   = yes
 CLEAR    = y
 PANEL    = 0
 TEXT     = 1/1/1/sw
 THTALN   = 8/1/1
 THTELN   = 6/10/1
 MIXRLN   = 5/2/1

You can adjust the other thermodynamic lines according to your needs.
