[Ifeffit] Generating single scattering paths in Artemis

I second this vote, since I also have had this same problem.  New users could become quickly disgruntled by the Fatal Error message when attempting to put in simple systems or just by choosing a short cluster distance to only include the first shell in the FEFF calculation.  At a minimum, it would be nice if Artemis trapped this error and reported a more friendly popup error message.
