Re: [ferret_users] new beginner to plot bathymetry file in ASCII
Hi Dessy,

Firstly, I put the bathymetry data in folder

Users'mail archive that we can not read from our work directory
(please correct me if it's wrong).
The environment variable FER_DATA is a space-separated list of
directories that ferret searches for data sets that do not have paths
specified. If "." is one of those directories, it will look in your
current working directory. You can also specify path names if you know
the absolute or relative path to the file. Just be sure to put the name
in quotes so Ferret will see it as a long name and not command line
options. Finally, with Ferret 6.7 you can use the Ferret command "open"
or add the "/browse" option to a "use" or "set data" command to start
the ThreddsBrowser, which can be used to display and select data sets
from local directories as well as online THREDDS catalogs.
