Hi Claire,

You can do this like:

	ferret -batch < your.jnl
or	ferret -gif < your.jnl


For instance I have a monthly process that creates a bottom temperature
plot where the Ferret part of it is:

echo "use monthave.$1.cdf" > gif.jnl
echo "FILL/K=1/levels=(-2,28,.3)/KEY=CONTINUOUS/NOLABELS/NOAXIS/NOKEY TEMP,'X','Y'" >> gif.jnl
echo "FRAME/FILE=$1.gif" >> gif.jnl
echo "quit" >> gif.jnl

ferret -gif < gif.jnl

Good luck,

Steve
