Bill,

The problem turned out to be a typo.  The UACROSS keyword for parameter
is PARam (PAR=, PARA=, or PARAM=), not PARm.  I corrected this in
xsection.gui and stuck a new copy out in the pub/mcidas/src/7.8 directory
of anonymous FTP for you to grab.

FYI, the reason that THA is plotted is that THA is the default parameter.
