Arlene,

The creation is not a big deal. You can see the list of parameters using 
SFPARM=dset in SFLIST.

The alternative to trying to use SFEDIT to bring in your other data set is that 
since you
can convert your Kuwait metars to a GEMPAK surface file, and your other global 
surface data
is a gempak file, you can use SFMOD to copy over the relevant 
stations/parameters.
