<P> </P>
<P>I added the routine and it is working great, however now when it writes out the first 0.f file, it quits and gives some "emergency exit" statements. I am not sure why it is now doing this. I attached the output log. Let me know if you need something else.</P>

<P>This routine sounds like what I need to get past the first few 100 steps and then get back to where I want to be. Is this all that needs to be added to usr? </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Also, If I wanted to, can I access the max courrant number by 'COURNO'? </P>

It takes your initial dt and sets it to dt/(scale^2), then ramps back to your target dt value.
