I will intersperse your listing with comments when I have them.

>setenv MPATH=/home/ocs/mcidas
>setenv MCDATA=${MPATH}/workdata

These two lines have incorrect C shell syntax and their definitions are,
in my opinion, non-standard.  I would define them as follows:

setenv MCHOME /home/ocs/mcidsa/workdata
setenv MCDATA ${MCHOME}/workdata

Notice the lack of '=' in these lines.  The C shell lets you define
environment variables in two ways:

setenv foo ...
set foo=...

>setenv 
>MCPATH=/home/ocs/mcidas/workdata:/home/ocs/mcidas/data:/home/ocs/mcidas/help

This one I would make:

setenv MCPATH ${MCDATA}:${MCHOME}/data:${MCHOME}/help

>setenv DISPLAY aurora:0
>
>cd $MCDATA
>
># Start an mcenv session
>mcenv -f 480x640 << EOFF

The common syntax would be:

mcenv -f 480x640 << EOF

(i.e. EOF instead of EEOF)

>logon.k TWP FOG I WS
>
>redirect.k rest fog.nam

McIDAS is particular about case sensitivity.  This should probably read

redirect.k REST fog.nam

assuming, of course, that your redirection file is named 'fog.nam'.  It must
also exist in one of the directories in your MCPATH.

># Reproject the image to a "geographic" projection
>imgremap.k fog/images.104 fog/images.9999 pro=rect

Again, McIDAS is case picky.  Is your dataset really 'fog/images' or is
it, perhaps, 'FOG/IMAGES'.  A 'DSSERVE LIST' will answer this question
quickly.

># Export a raster ASCII file
>axform.k 9999 /home/ocs/mcidas/fogdata/grass/img_raster.txt mis=-9999 fty=asc 
>nav=yes

I am sure that the keywords need to be in upper case:

axform.k 9999 /home/ocs/mcidas/fogdata/grass/img_raster.txt MISS=-9999 FTY=ASC 
NAV=YES

># Delete re-projected image
>imgdel.k fog/images.9999

Perhaps:

imgdel.k FOG/IMAGES.9999

This is because it should be REST.

>imgremap.k: Image directory server unable to resolve this dataset: fog/images

This tells me that the dataset is either FOG/IMAGES and/or it hasn't been
defined by a 'DSSERVE ADD ...' command.

>imgremap.k: Failed to open source directory
>axform.k: Area does not exist= 9999

This error is a cascade from prefious ones.

.mcenv will be used by the ADDE remote server.  If 'FOG/IMAGES' is a
local dataset, this file will not come into play.  If FOG/IMAGES was defined
in the 'mcidas' environment it could be treated as a remote dataset
given that you have your ADDE remote server setup as per my recommendations
(user 'mcadde's home directory is the same as 'mcidas').

Try the mods suggested above and let me know what happens.

Tom,
It worked!!! (Just one minor syntax error [see below] in your response).
Thank you...Thank you...Thank you,
