[Fwd: PPLUS variables]

[Kevin O'Brien <kobrien@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Donald, 

I neglected to mention you may also find information for symbol
substitution in the newest version of the on-line manual at:

http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/Documentation/Users_Guide/v44/

Look in Chapter 7.

Sorry for any confusion,

Kevin
