(Awaiting user feedback.)

Not-yet Implemented Features::

Note: The "Command Line" window provides access to ALL command line features
    except for control-C interrupts.  Features which have not yet been
    implemented in the point-and-click interface are still available
    via the Script Manager by typing in commands.
    (The command "CANCEL MODE GUI" from the script manager will transfer
    control to the terminal window from which ferret was launched.  "SET
    MODE GUI" at the "yes?" prompt will restore control to the GUI.)

o No interrupt button has been implemented.
o No controls for defining new axes or grids have been implemented.
o No controls for the creation and use of color palettes have been implemented.
o No controls for resizing and changing the aspect ratios of windows have been
    implemented.
o No controls for defining custom viewports have been implemented.
o No controls for customized plot labels or layout have been implemented.
o Controls for defining custom contour levels are implemented at a rudimentary level.
o No ability to read flat ASCII and binary data files.
