Re: (no subject)

I am a new user of NCL and is at the learning stage.
I have installed ncl 5.1.0 successfully and have checked with ng4ex gsun01n.
I am trying to learn to use NCL for WRF output.
I tried to use the following script:

  1 ;********************************************************
  2 ; WRF: simple plane view of the pressure field
  3 ; at a specific time and level. No map background.
  4 ;********************************************************
  5 load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
  6 load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
  7 begin
  8 ;********************************************************
  9 ; open file
 10 ;********************************************************
 11 f = addfile ("wrfout_d01_2007-01-31_12.nc", "r")
 12
 13 ;********************************************************
 14 ; Read character variable Times
 15 ; Convert to type string for plotting purposes
 16 ;********************************************************
 17 times = chartostring(f->Times) ; built-in function
 18
 19 ;********************************************************
 20 ; Read Pressure at Time=12, level=0, convert to hPa
 21 ;********************************************************
 22 p = f->P(12,0,:,:) ; import data + meta info
 23 p = p*0.01 ; demo: convert to hPa
 24 p_at_units = "hPa" ; update units attribute
 25
 26 ;********************************************************
 27 ; create plots
 28 ;********************************************************
 29 wks = gsn_open_wks("ps" ,"WRF_cn") ; ps,pdf,x11,ncgm,eps
 30 gsn_define_colormap(wks,"BlAqGrYeOrReVi200"); select color map
 31
 32 res = True ; plot mods desired
 33 ;;res_at_gsnMaximize = True ; uncomment to maximize
 34 size
 35 res_at_tiMainString = times(12) ; main title
 36 plot = gsn_csm_contour(wks,p,res)
 37
 38 res_at_cnFillOn = True ; turn on color
 39 res_at_cnLinesOn = False ; turn contour lines
 40 res_at_gsnSpreadColors = True ; use entire color map
 41 res_at_lbLabelAutoStride = True ; let NCL determine label
 42 spacing
 43 plot = gsn_csm_contour(wks,p,res)
 44 end
 45

but I am getting the error
[mmittal_at_localhost ~/NCL]$ ./exam1
./exam1: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
./exam1: line 1: `;********************************************************'

I am using cshell. Script is the file exam1 and does not have line numbers.

What am I missing?

Thank you for your help.
