Re: adding polymarkers to hdf4sds_5.ncl?

Jatin Kala and Adam Phillips ROCK!!!!!
They both suggested gsn_add_polymarker and this worked!!!! W00t!!
I guess the moral of the story is: gsn_add_polymarker is better than
gsn_polymarker. (I'm going to write myself a note and hang it above my
computer)
THanks a lot!
