[GEMPAK #OUP-365834]: GEMPAK - message queue problem

Mark,

There are no flags for a program to run in batch mode- a controlling terminal or
lack thereof is determined in the routines. 

You didn't mention what errors you were seeing, but make sure that if you are 
running
to create a XW, GF, PS display that required contacting an X server, the 
environment from
within the spawned shell has the display access, as well as the full GEMPAK 
environment.

Also, you may be able to utilize the gpmap_gf or gpmap_xw etc. to eliminate the 
message queues
if you don't require separate program runs for overlays.
