[xcrysden] how to open the Boundary window

[Gavin Abo]

I don't quite follow what you're wanting to visualize.  So, you may have 
to elaborate further.  In the diam8A.scf.in that you attached, I see 
there are 23 atomic positions.  When viewed in XCrySden, I'm seeing 23 
atoms that look to be displayed for all 23 atomic positions.

I took a look at one of the positions, the one for atom 1 and it seems 
to be displayed exact were it was specified to be (as seen in carbon.pdf 
at [1]).
