[Ifeffit] Unable to export flattened normalized XANES spectra from Athena 0.9.24

[Bruce Ravel]

Here's what the manual has to say

http://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/aug/output/column.html

Looking at the code, however, it seems the document has swapped columns 
2/3 and columns 4/5.  I think what you are looking for is in column 4, 
not column 2.  If that's right, I'll treat this as a documentation bug. 
  If that is not the case, then I'll prod you for more information so I 
can understand the software bug.

In either case, thanks for the report.

Cheers,
B
