[GEMPAK #JOX-953146]: The installation of GEMPAK

Hi Patrick,

Notice on line 24 of the file Gemenviron - 
https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/blob/master/Gemenviron#L24 - the NAWIPS 
definition:

setenv NAWIPS /home/gempak/NAWIPS

This line assumes that GEMPAK was installed to the directory /home/gempak/, as 
user "gempak". If you installed GEMPAK in another location (i.e. 
/usr/local/gempak/GEMPAK7) then you will need to change this line to set the 
environmental variable NAWIPS to the correct location.

This is for the file Gemenviron if you are using a csh shell (you can find out 
by typing the command "echo $SHELL").

If you are using a bash shell, you should use the file "Gemenviron.profile" 
which sets the same environmental variables as "Gemenviron" for bash.  NAWIPS 
is defined on line 19 of this file: 
https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/blob/master/Gemenviron.profile#L19
