To execute multiple commands from one call to NCL's 'system()'
command, you'll need to string together those commands using the
shell's syntax for doing so. For both csh and sh shell variants, you
can use the semicolon to do this. As a trivial example:

        system("cd " + dir + "; WRAPIT ...")

For both NCL's 'system()' and 'systemfunc()' commands, there are
examples that demonstrate how to string together commands:

        system: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/
system.shtml see example #4 and #5
        systemfunc: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/
systemfunc.shtml see example #5
