I wouldn't use the '^' character - in looking at the page (which is
ambiguous to me), it looks like the file name is the product ID, and
that doesn't start with 'ncep'.   Try:

 
        request NMC2 "ncep/erl/icwf" motherlode.ucar.edu
        request NMC2 "ncepc/eta/erl" motherlode.ucar.edu

or

        request NMC2 "(ncep/erl/icwf|ncepc/eta/erl)" motherlode.ucar.edu

Either way, the effect will be the same.

If that doesn't work.  If I have a moment tomorrow, I will ask chiz
about the meaning of the web page, e.g., which file name is the product
ID, and what's that other junk that starts with the '!'.

Let me know if this works for you.

Anne
