Hi there. I've just been plotting some MERLIN data that I've run through 
FIXWT and was looking at how the new weights varied with elevation. I've 
attached the plot that ANBPL produced; it has negative elevations! Am I 
doing something wrong? This is DEC07 aips with the following inputs:

Also, the help file says that the default plotting is 'real' vs 'time' 
whereas it appears to be 'weight' vs 'time'.
