This is the same problem you ran into over the weekend and is fixed in today's 
(2010-05-04 07:18 UTC) build.  The version you are running is _SO_ yesterday.

Create a color table with 6 colors.  Make 1/2 blue, the other half red and set 
the range for the reasonable range of values (N) for the parameter from -N to 
+N.  For the contour interval, you can use GEMPAK syntax, so it could be 
something like:

2/-100/-2;2/2/100

to contour at 2 units from -100 to -2 and 2 to 100 (or whatever range you want).
That should eliminate 0.  If you want to dash the negative values, then set the 
base 
to be 0 and turn dashing on.

This way, you only need one display.
