OK, it looks like the info I sent Bernie earlier was incorrect.
The DSSERVE command sound have been:

DSSERVE ADD GOES12/ALL GVAR TYPE=IMAGE DIRFILE=/uhome/dhummel/goes12

My previous note to Bernie was incorrect in two items:

- left out the TYPE=IMAGE keyword on the DSSERVE invocation
- incorrectly included the beginning and ending image numbers, '1 9999'

> I tried a few variations e.g. TYPE=IMAGE , etc. with no success.  Please

Please try the DSSERVE invocation above and let me know if that works on
your machine.

For reference, you can get online help for any McIDAS command using the
McIDAS HELP command.  For instance:

HELP DSSERVE

Cheers,

Tom
