[ncl-talk] reading variable

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Immediate mode string reference also works.  The double quotes must be
*inside* the dollar signs, not the other way around.

    csi_mod  = b1->$"series_cts_CSI_ge0.3"$

Immediate mode is not in the NCL manual, but it should be.  It is useful.
