First off, I want to commend Peter and Mark for jumping in with
excellent answers to Kristine's questions.  It pleases me greatly to
see this level of interaction on the mailing list!

Kristine is wise to be thinking early and often about the problem of
path management.  As one's fitting models become more sophisticated,
the issue of path management becomes more important.  It is good to
develop one's own good habits early in the game.

Beyond Peter's and Mark's excellent suggestions, Artemis has some
other features to help in this chore.

1.  When you want to import paths, selecting the feff.inp file
    actually tells artemis to import *all* the feffNNNN.dat files that
    it finds in the directory.  If you only want one of the
    feffNNNN.dat files, then just import that one.  Paths can then be
    imported one-by-one.  That may be inconvenient for lots of paths
    but for one or two it may be preferable.  Artemis is pretty smart
    about recognizing when you have imported a path file from a feff
    calculation that has already been used and when you are importing
    one from a new feff calculation.

2.  "Add a path" in the Feff and Path menus behaves exactly like "Open
    Feff calculation" in the Files menu except that the former
    initially displays feff.inp and feffNNNN.dat files while the
    latter initially displays only feff.inp files.
    
3.  Click on the Feff calculation in the Data and Paths list to
    display the feff calculation page.  Notice that the lines in the
    interpretation of the calculation flash orange as you pass the
    cursor over them?  Click the right mouse button.  That menu allows
    you so include/exclude (as well as select/deselect, and import)
    individual paths without having to display them.


In fact, the right mouse click brings up context sensitive menus in
many places throughout the program.  On a path description page, try
right-clicking on one of the path parameter labels.  Another
interesting right click is on a word in a path parameter math
expression.  There are interesting right click menus on the data and
GDS pages as well.
