[Mesa-users] qpmg: Quickly Plot MESA or GYRE

[Warrick Ball]

Hi Alex,

I've always used the script as

     qpmg <filenames> <options>

but I've just noticed that the default usage statement suggests otherwise. 
I'll amend the help file to say this but glad it's working in the 
meantime.

Cheers,
Warrick
