Re: Runtime input to ncl script

Thank you Dave, for your suggestions.

This is helpful and new information for me. But I prefer if there is a way
for live interaction between the script and user (like prompt - pull
combination does in GrADS). If anybody tried such a way, please let me know.

Thanking you in advance.
