[RegCNET] tutorial question / post-processing

[Michael Notaro]

Thanks for your email.  I initially tried 2002090100 and the post  
processing crashed with this error:

ncdimid: ncid 6: Invalid dimension id or name
ncvarid: ncid 6: Variable not found
ncvarid: ncid 6: Variable not found
*ERROR* in putdef in grbtst

What am I doing wrong?  I thought I was closely following the  
tutorial, so I do not
understand why I get errors.  I know the output is OK since I can  
view it in grads.
