Hi Frank,
I Hope it's OK that I CC: this to the ifeffit mailing list.

The 'ikwindo' flags in Feffit were too hard for most of to
remember, so Ifeffit uses character strings for the name of
the window function as with
fftf(data.chi, kmin=2,kmax=12,dk=1, kwindow='hanning')
The feffit() and window() command use this keyword too, or it
can set with the string $kwindow:
set $kwindow = 'hanning'
I'm not sure that's easier than it was in Feffit, but it
doesn't seem worse. For back-transforms, use 'rwindow' in
place of 'kwindow'. The supported window types are:
hanning fhanning kaiser parzen
welch sine gaussian
Only the first 3 letters of these namew are really needed.
The default is 'hanning', but 'kaiser' is often a good choice.
Of course, the GUIs have drop-down lists for this.
I see that this information is not in the on-line docs.
Eeek! I would have sworn it was.... I'll be sure to add this
when I post the next version. The good news is that I am
actually working on this these days, and even though I keep
finding more to add and fix, I'm optimistic that 1.0077 will
be ready next week.
