Michael,

Multiple files in GDPLOT2 can be defined using the exclamation point "!" to 
separate each.

I was able to plot ISAL and HGHT from two grid files using the following 
definitions, with each part separated by "!" tied to the GDFILE definition:

 GDFILE   = $MODEL/ruc/2012050211_ruc236.gem ! $MODEL/ruc/2012050212_ruc236.gem
 GDATTIM  = f000:f003 ! f000
 GLEVEL   = 500
 GVCORD   = pres
 PANEL    = 0
 SKIP     = 0
 SCALE    = 999
 GDPFUN   = knts(mag(isal)) ! hght

see if this can get you where you want to go, and let me know if you have any 
more questions.

Best,

Michael James
