Bill,

Sounds good.  I exercised the ADDE server on foxfire from here just to make
sure that things are working.

Not good.

>Can you reproduce this? Any thoughts?

I can reproduce this, and it is obviously a bug. I will report the bug
to SSEC.

A quick way around this is to use the REPEAT feature of McIDAS:

TE USACONF "MAP USA 8 PRO=CONF PAN=!1
REPEAT USACONF 1 TO 4 BY 1

The string USACONF only has to be defined once, so you can replace each
occurrance of 'MAP USA 8 PRO=CONF PAN=1 4' in your script(s) by the
REPEAT sequence.
