Bill,

I was cleaning out a mailbox when I discovered this question you asked
way back in April.  Sorry that I never responded!

GRDCOPY and GRDDISP both have MATH= capabilities, but I don't think
that it supports the access to subroutines that do calculations like
THETA/THETAE.  It seems to me that this shouldn't be that hard.  I
will check into adding it to the 7.8 version of GRDCOPY/GRDDISP.

Sorry that this query got lost...

Tom
