> I cant remember how to turn off the creation of these files. Can you help?

Yes.  If you followed the Unidata way of setting up McIDAS decoding,
you would do the following to turn off decoder-creation of GRID
files:

<as 'mcidas'>
cd $MCDATA
decinfo.k SET DMGRID INACTIVE

After doing this, wait for up to a minute and then verify that
the GRID data monitor is not running:

ps -eaf | grep DM

You should not see DMGRID running.

Cheers,

Tom
