Tony,

In 7.6, it is GRDIMAGE.

You were right.

To make matters more difficult, however, things change in version 7.7.
In 7.7, the ADDE version of GRDIMG is called GRDIMG and the non-ADDE
version will be called GRDIMAGE.  Is this confusing enough?  The reason
for this change was SSEC's ADDEization of GRDIMG between the 7.6 and
7.7 releases.  I decided to wait until 7.7 to force users to editing
their scripts to change the non-ADDE GRDIMG invocations.  So, you
should switch to use of GRDIMAGE now and then you will only have to
rename it in your BATCH files/McBASI scripts.

>Thanks,
