Hi Scott,

The behavior you describe sounds like the environmental variable file 
Gemenviron (or Gemenviron.profile for bash) is not being sourced in either your 
.cshrc or .bashrc file.

Be sure to check that NAWIPS points to the correct location, which on OS X 
systems will typically be /Users/gempak/NAWIPS/ rather than /home/gempak/NAWIPS/
