The ADDE RTGRIDS listing from dsinfo.k above reflects how the dataset was
setup on your server.  In your case, it was set to only see two of the ten
files that are being created by UWGRID invocations on your machine.

To see the dataset setup, use the DSSERVE command:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd workdata
dsserve.k LIST RTGRIDS

In this listing, you will probably see something like:

RTGRIDS/MRF-UW           GRID  GRID 101-102          MRF Grids in UW stream
RTGRIDS/NGM-UW           GRID  GRID 1-2              NGM Grids in UW stream

In order to change this setup so that all 10 of each type of GRID files
can be accessed, you should run:

DSSERVE ADD RTGRIDS/MRF-UW        GRID  101  110 RT=NO  "MRF Grids in UW stream
DSSERVE ADD RTGRIDS/NGM-UW        GRID    1   10 RT=NO  "NGM Grids in UW stream

If you followed the web page recommendations for XCD configuration, at some
point you would have:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd data
cp DSSERVE.BAT LSSERVE.BAT

If you have the LSSERVE.BAT copy of DSSERVE.BAT, I would recommend that
you edit it and change the RTGRIDS/MRF-UW and RTGRIDS/NGM-UW lines to read
like the example above.  After making the change, you can use BATCH
to make the settings active:

cd ~mcidas/workdata
batch.k LSSERVE.BAT

After this, your dsinfo.k listing for RTGRIDS/MRF-UW and RTGRIDS/NGM-UW
should look like:

>MRF-UW          10    MRF Grids in UW stream
>NGM-UW          10    NGM Grids in UW stream
