Scott,

>I am a student of Jennie Moody's at the University of Virginia, and 
>am currently working with the online MCIDAS Learning Guide.  In the 
>section MD Files-Listing MD File Directories and Data Records, I 
>entered the command  PTLIST BLIZZARD/PTSRCS FORM=FILE ALL and 
>received the message NO MD FILES FOUND.  What can be done to correct 
>this problem?  Thank you.

I have a couple of questions:

o what version of the Learning Guide are you working through

o what data server are you pointing to for the BLIZZARD dataset

To list out the data server you are using for the BLIZZARD dataset, run:

DATALOC LIST

I just pointed at the server used by recent workshop participants
(adde.ucar.edu) and ran the command you list and got the expected
listing:

Pos      Description                        Schema  NRows NCols  Date
------   --------------------------------   ------  ----- ----- -------

I am running version 7.6.  The data server is adde.unidata.ucar.edu.  
If it is any help, the problem was encountered at the following URL:

Thank you.
