Super!

The string use approach dictates that you specify exactly which contour
lines you want.  There is no formalism (that I am aware of) that would
allow you to specify that you want contours for values between some
min and max values.

Sounds good.

You are welcome.  Did you give CFILLCLP a whirl?  You ought to try it out
at least once to get an idea of what is possible.
