    Now I am very confused - the issue with the 2nd IF does NOT occur
on one of your computers but it does on the one you are now using?
Even after taking a  new binary installation?  Even after running
FILLM over again?

The AVG parameter has to do with how many times are averaged by
default in the display -- not the grid --- in TVFLG.  You can tell it
not to average when display (and flagging) but then the full TVFLG
grid cannot be seen at any one time.

TGET always gets the last parameters actually used while RESTORE 0
replaces the parameters with initial values.  These behaviors have
never changed.
