Hi Dan, Are you aware of the -script option for running Ferret? This option can be combined with other command-line options such as -gif or -batch, and it allows you to pass arguments to the script from the command line. To run basemap.jnl in batch mode, to produce a postscript file, and with arguments x=300:360 y=0:60 20 the command would be: % ferret -batch mymap.ps -script basemap.jnl x=300:360 y=0:60 20 The issue of redirection is on our list to look into, but unfortunately will not be fixed in the next version of Ferret, to be released soon.

It means you cannot paste commands into a Ferret section, and you cannot pipe a jnl file in a shell command line. I suggest that the Ferret developers put the issue to the very top of their priority.

It'sas if the text @P422-10 has been separated from therest ofthe command somehow. Are you using redirection to pass your script toFerret? If youare running Ferret with a Unix command like > ferret -gif < myscript.jnl Here is a message from the archives describing whatI think mightbe the problemhttp://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/Mail_Archives/fu_2003/msg00883.htmlAn answer is to create a short go script which doesnothingbut call your script and exit. So you'd have ascript withcall_script.jnl: go myscript.jnl exit And then run it with > ferret -gif < call_script.jnl Ansley__________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
