[xcrysden] Help: my saved .xcrysden files do not open and display an error

[Marisol Alcantara Ortigoza]

Thank you so much for your help.
When we try to open a .xcrysden file, we use
File -> "Open Structure" and the select "Open Xcrysden Scripting File"
We deleted the files but I will save and send to you next time in this thread.
Could it be that they got corrupted if attempted to be opened using "Open XSF" ?
Thanks again,

If advice given by Gavin did not solve the problem: how did you load
the *.xcrysden file? Please provide a sample *.xcrysden file that
produces this error.
