[ncl-talk] unable to run NCL on Ubuntu

[Mary Haley]

That's correct, you do *not* want the "end" statement if you don't have a
"begin" statement, or you will get an error.  Perhaps what you mean to use
was "quit".

The "begin" and "end" statements are optional for the main NCL code, but
not optional when you are defining procedures and functions.
