Alan,

I can't.  My first inclination was to explain the difference between
new ADDE routines, but the GUI still uses the older, non-ADDEized
applications for plotting/contouring point source data.

I just cranked up the MCGUI on a machine where the data files are
local (i.e. non-ADDE setup) and see that when I try to select THETA,
THETA-E, and Station Elevation, the selector in the GUI goes blank.
This is obviously a bug that I need to jump on.  I will get back to
you as soon as I have a fix.
