Hi Heather,

I'm glad you reminded me!

I have the three files and ran through them again.  The {ens} is correct and 
PREC is present, so gdplot2 runs well, but doesn't product a plot since there 
are no values of PREC over 2.  The thing about values is, you have to check 
min/max values using GDLIST to confirm that the data values match the scale you 
expect.  If I set SCALE to 2 (or blank) then the range of PREC includes 2.  If 
I set SCALE = 0 (no scaling) then data value range is -0.02 to 0.20.

In short, check your values in GDINFO, and use SCALE in GDPLOT2 to control the 
ENS_PROB/gt in GDPFUN.

By the way, I noticed you are using GDPLOT - I recommend GDPLOT2 as a more 
capable and robust plotting program (though note it uses GDPFUN instead of 
GFUNC).
