========================

I think it is due to the fact that Example 4
is using the skewT script that will be distributed
with version 4.3.0 [formerly known as 4.2.a035].
originally, 4.3.0 was sceduled for the end of March but
it has been delayed until mid-April.

You can get the updated skewT script at:

http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/web/public_html/shea/SKEWT_FUNC.ncl

Replace the

    load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/skewt_func.ncl"
    
or, load thie newer version as

    load "SKEWT_FUNC.ncl"

Good luck
