Pete,

I'm using the "NAM 12km Simulated Brightness Temp grib files - grib 218" and i 
added the entries to the grib table. I added this to the 
"$GEMTBL/unidata/nex2gini.tbl"

SBT122    16    2 K,255,176,163,242;175,0,242.5,330         TICZ99  TMPK
SBT123    16    2 K,255,176,163,242;175,0,242.5,330         TICZ99  TMPK
SBT124    16    2 K,255,176,163,242;175,0,242.5,330         TICZ99  TMPK
SBT125    16    2 K,255,176,163,242;175,0,242.5,330         TICZ99  TMPK

then i create the gini file - example "using SBT122 (channel 2)

gd2img << EOF
GDFILE   = test.gem
GDATTIM  = last
GLEVEL   = 0
GVCORD   = TOPA
SCALE    = 0
GFUNC    = SBT122
PROJ     = STR/90;-97;0
GRDAREA  = 18.00;-120.00;48.00;-55.00
KXKY     = 768;496
CPYFIL   = 
SATFIL   = testimg.gini
r

e
EOF
 
gpend

then create the map - example

gpmap << EOF
MAP    = 1
GAREA  = dset
PROJ   = sat
DEVICE = gif|test.gif|768;496
SATFIL = testimg.gini
LUTFIL = 
PANEL  = 0
CLEAR  = yes
TITLE  = 0
TEXT   = 0
r

e
EOF
 
gpend

and this plots a nice image...still tweking the proj/garea settings as i just 
learned this myself so hope this example helps you out.
