Pat,

OK, good.

Very strange!

And I get nothing for these stations either!!

>Yet, when I use the MDL command to find the data for WNCI2, LTHM7, or
>BLMM7 in the file, I strike out just like you did.  Any ideas?

No, not really.  I would say that the MDXX4450 file that I FTPed was
different from the one that you are using in the PROPLT command except
that the MDL command should be accessing the same file, and it doesn't
show any data for any of these stations.

Did you try using the PROFSECT command after setting up the MYDATA
dataset?  I would _love_ to see if it can plot cross sections for
those stations.  If it can, and if PTLIST also shows no data for
these stations, then I think we have some sort of a miracle on our
hands :-)
