Angel,

>Right now I've overwritten the default files with the .rsmas versions.
>Once everything is working I'll move them to ~mcidas/workdata. I'm waiting
>for the next GOES pass to come in around 1530 eastern.

OK.

>Where does GOESCOMP create it's output?

McIDAS locates data files using two systems: file REDIRECTions and
MCPATH directories.  File REDIRECTions take precedence over MCPATH
directories.  

GOESCOMP specifies the use of the routing table, ROUTE.SYS, entry CV
to figure out which AREA file is to receive its output.  The default
ROUTE.SYS entry (as defined in DROUTE.BAT) for product CV is:

  CV GOES-E/W VIS Composite      90-99   AREA0095     02322 2035     none     3

This says that the GOES-East/GOES-West composite of VIS images will be
written into the next "cylinder" for AREA files 90 - 99, inclusive.
In the example I list, the last AREA file used was AREA0095.  The next
time that a PostProcess is run on my system, the AREA file AREA0096 will
be used.

Where AREA0096 is located is defined by a file REDIRECTion if
applicable, or if no REDIRECTions match, the first writable directory
in the MCPATH that is in scope when GOESCOMP runs.  MCPATH is defined
in the Bourne shell script batch.k, and the Bourne shell script batch.k
is what is run by to do the PostProcess upon receipt of the GOES-East
VIS product by the LDM.
