[GEMPAK #HCR-177261]: question about model, Nmap <-> programs

Gustavo,

The restore command is a GEMPAK command used to load contents from a GEMPAK 
.nts file
into the running program ("save" is a GEMPAK command used to store the contents
of the current parameter settings into a .nts file). These are not commands to 
run at your
Unix/Linux shell prompt, but rather inside your GDPLOT2 commands.

Typing "phelp" in any GEMPAK program will show you the basic GEMPAK commands. 

When you start a GEMPAK program, it automatically loads the gemglb.nts values
for you. Using the "restore filename" command will load the NTS file you specify
in the GEMPAK program, eg in a script:

#!/bin/csh
source /home/gempak/Gemenviron

setenv DISPLAY "some display"
GDPLOT2<<EOF
   restore NMAP_RESTORE/modl/ecmwfg/pmsl_ethkn
   GAREA = -90;-180;90;180
   PROJ = CED
   GDFILE = ecmwfg
   r

   e
EOF

More information on redirecting shell input is found in the tutodial under 
"batch scripts"
or in some of the examples found under the GEMPAK web pages.
