Hsie,

OK.  I pointed my session at stratus for RTNEXRAD:

DATALOC ADD RTNEXRAD STRATUS.AL.NOAA.GOV

and verified that I can list and display various NEXRAD images (I chose
BUF randomly):

IMGLIST RTNEXRAD/N0R ID=BUF
Image file directory listing for:RTNEXRAD/N0R
 Pos Satellite/         Date       Time      Center   Band(s)
     sensor                                 Lat  Lon
 --- -------------  ------------  --------  ---- ---- ------------

IMGLIST: done

IMGDISP RTNEXRAD/NCR ID=BUF STATION=BUF PLACE=C MAG=1 1 EU=CREF SU=X ALL=11 
SF=YES REFRESH='EG GRA=(GRA);MAP FILE=OUTLUSAM MCOL=1 WID=1 GRA=(GRA);BAR (GRA)

Erased graphic frame(s) 11-11
IMGDISP: done
EU: Restoring CREF.ET      to frame(s)=  11

So, from my short test things look like they are working correctly.
