    Just a side comment or two ...

    Here we recommend the people use the attached .hluresfile.
    This should be placed in the users home directory.
    It is this default file that is assumed in all the
    examples at: http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/csm/support

    What does it do? It changes some defaults.
                    
    default font becomes "helvetica"
                         [We like the look of helvetica.]

    deafult function code is changed from : to ~
                         [This allows colons to be included in titles.
                          The ~ was chosen because it is rarely used.]
                          
    default x11 window is larger.

    makes a work buffer larger than the default

    makes white/black the default background/foreground colors.

    Of course, u can edit this as you wish.

    Regards
    Dennis Shea
