Sorry, my bad.  The lines after def have to be indented.  Jython uses
the structure of the code to determine flow:

def windShearMag(u, v, top, bottom):
  udiff = layerDiff(u, top, bottom)
  vdiff = layerDiff(v, top, bottom)
  windDiff = sqrt(udiff*udiff + vdiff*vdiff)
  return windDiff

They all need to be indented the same number of spaces (number doesn't
matter).  I blew it when I cut and pasted from my editor.  Sorry about 
that.

You don't need to highlight the windShearMag, just right clicking on
it should do it.  The previous error keeps the "Make formula" menu
from being added to the popup.

BTW, when you respond can you turn off sending the message as HTML?
It seems to be screwing up our system.  Thanks.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
