Have you looked at the output files? And the default names?
edist -> energy distribution
bindex -> bin index (I guess this meas which structure goes in which bin)
-ls3 -> energy landscape in 3D

Just try it!

Good question, but you probably need to supply a bit more info to get 
something interesting...
