 Thanks for the suggestion.  That may just do the trick!
If the subject ever comes up, that would be nice addition
to the grid programs (the SFPARM ability).

Thanks again for the suggestion.

Robert,

The color coding by SFPARM value is not available in grid programs.

However, in GDPLOT2, you can do multiple plots in different colors for
TYPE=P.

For example:
GDFILE   = eta
GLEVEL   = 0
GVCORD   = none
TYPE     = p
GDPFUN   = emsl ! emsl ! emsl ! emsl ! emsl ! emsl
COLORS   = 30 ! 24 ! 21 ! 18 ! 15 ! 11
CINT     = <mailer line wrap here> 
//1024 ! /1024/1028 ! /1028/1032 ! /1032/1036 ! /1036/1040 ! /1040/

Just a suggestion....
