[GEMPAK #WMA-940329]: Can't display surface obs on NMAP

Kevin,

You have modified prmlst.tbl from the values in the distribution, so that might 
be the problem.

I'm assuming you mean the plot ^METAR | METAR in the prmlst.tbl, where your
colors are missing, eg you have:
SFPARM=SKYK:.75:1:132;TMPF;WSYM:1:1;;;DWPF
COLORS=19;            2;   7; ;;      3;

That  line is missing colors, which is incorrect. You can specify color "0",

The original lines were:
^METAR | METAR
SFPARM=SKYK:.75:1:132;TMPF;WSYM:1:1;SMSL;PTND:1:1;DWPF;STID;;VSBY*10
COLORS=26;            2;   7;       25;  20;      22;  18;   24

Since you only have 4 parameter, try:
COLORS = 19 ; 2; 7; 3
