Thanks.

It turns out that $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl was pointing to the
directory where the data resides...but that the file names did not
follow the proper convention.  Instead of "YYYYMMDD_upa.gem" specified
in the table, I was using "YYMMDD_upa.gem". An old habit from the

So what do I do with this old resource file in my .app-defaults
directory? If I remove it, Nsharp quits on startup. Leaving it there
seems to do no harm.

You are referencing old files. The configuration of the menu pulldowns
is done through $GEMTBL/nsharp files, where the data set name UAIR in
nsharp_observed.tbl is the $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl alias- the same
datalocation you would be expecting by using the UAIR template in the
SN* programs.

Closer examination reveals that this may be an older resource file
since it mentions V3.1 at the top of the file.  In $NAWIPS/resource/
there is a resource file for NSHARP v3.2 but it only has a few lines
and no paths to data locations. In addition, if I use this file in
my .app-defaults directory, I get errors:

$ nsharp

nsharp: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
