Hi Julia,

Correct.  You can see this for yourself by running IMGLIST:

IMGLIST TEST/MYGOES.2829 FORM=ALL

There is nothing wrong with this IMGDISP invocation.

I don't think so.  One comment, however.  The upper left hand portion of the
image is looking off in space.  If your frame size is small enough, your
image load would only be looking at the space data.  To test to see if
this is your problem, please run:

IMGDISP EAST/CONUS.2275 EU=IMAGE BAND=1 MAG=-4

I just ran this, and the image displayed with no problems.

Cheers,

Tom
