Q: I issued the command &DEFAULT -DEPTH to change the water depth after INMODEL and MOSES does not take the command. It seems that I can change the water depth only by issuing the &DEFAULT command before the INMODEL. Am I missing something here?

A: Yes, you are missing something. Water depth is a property of the environment and is set on the &ENV command. The default water depth &ENV uses is set by &Default -depth depth, Thus to actually change the water depth, you need to issue &ENV. The reason it worked if you put the &DEFAULT before the INMODEL is that after the INMODEL, a new environment is created which uses the defaults currently in force.
