Hi George,
      If I understand your question correctly, you need to use the ncml to 
aggregate multiple files and then load them into the IDV trough isl script, if 
so, the data source type should be "Grid files". This is actually what the IDV 
does for you when you select multiple files with data source type as "Aggregate 
....". The detail information about the ncml is here:
