Hi Justin.

Thanks for the answer, sorry for the delay in answering.

That is the point: usualy, I remember g_energy giving me a list of
properties and energy contributions to be calculated, which I would select
by an index number. I'm not getting this list nor the program waits for
such input anymore, so how can I "select the correct energy terms" so that
the fluctuation properties get calculated?

Thanks a lot for any help,

Jones
