unread mercury

[Axel T. Brunger]

Your definition of the chemical atom type of mercury probably
doesn't match chemical HG+* .  Do a 

vector show elem ( chemical ) ( <select mercury atom here>) 


Note, that complete scattering tables are avaiable in the
developmental version of X-PLOR (file $XTALLIB/scatter.lib for
normal scattering, and two anomalous scattering libraries).
