Bill,

OK.

I can't quite remember why this was added, but you are definitely
correct: the resetting of the load denter action is wrong.

I understand.  This is exactly how the MCGUI load works.

Done.  A newly modified version of imagloop.gui can be found in
the pub/mcidas/src directory of anonymous FTP on our FTP server,
ftp.unidata.ucar.edu.

Now, you have three to grab: bkgmap.gui, xsection.gui, and imagloop.gui.
