Re: how to get user input

At this time, I don't think this is possible.

Usually, command line arguments [CLAs] are used:
===
ncl 'season="JJA"' foo.ncl

The ' are needed to escape the unix shell.

===
Another examples:

ncl nyrStrt=1900 nyrLast=1968 modelRun.ncl

The following contains more info amd more complicated examples:
