Hi Sean,

I am not 100% sure I know which question you are asking.  So if my
answer misses the target, ask again.  Or hope that someone else is
cleverer that I ;-)

1. Do "show @groups".  That will give you proper names of all the
   groups that Ifeffit currently knows about.  Assuming "fit" is the
   correct name for the group you are interested in...

2. Do "show @group fit".  This will show you all the arrays belonging
   to that group.

3. You will find that the arrays in R have these suffixes: r, chir_re,
   chir_im, chir_mag, and chir_pha.  So the error you describe above
   could be due to getting the group name wrong or it could be due to
   getting the suffix wrong.  In either case, the "show @something"
   commands will help navigate Ifeffit's memory.

I would recommend explicitly setting the group names for the fitted
arrays when you do the feffit() command.  That is, use the "group="
argument to feffit() as described at
   http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/refman/node75.html
That way the group name is never the source of the confusion.  The
prefixes that get spit out of each array processing command are well
documented in the Ifeffit Reference Manual.

HTH,
B
