Thanks for letting me know about this broken link.  I have just fixed it
and two others (Learning Guide, and Workshop) on the same page.

You are correct, the index has not been updated to include the McIDAS
routines added by Unidata to the distribution.  I will look into correcting
this oversight.

For reference, you can find online documentation for MAKEAREA and other
Unidata-added routines from the Chapter 3 Commands pages:
