Dear Bruce, Since the 2 or 3 latest athena versions, I have noticed a somewhat strange behavior of the 'plot multiplier' command in athena. I'm using the latest horae and iffefit releases on linux (Madriva 2007) and windows (XP, SP3). The plot multiplier works for chi and fourier-transformed spectra, but fails for xanes and xmu spectra: changing the plot multiplier to a value different from 1 makes no effect of the last two types of spectra. In contrast, 'y-axis offset' command works for all types of spectra. Personally, I found the possibility to multiply xanes spectra extremely convenient (as far as I remember, it worked in older than 2006 versions of athena....), for example for quick comparison and superposition short-energy range XANES spectra for which the athena energy normalisation procedures do not work perfectly in some cases. Best regards Happy New Year Gleb Pokrovski
