NAME
 multiScript.tcl -- a simple example of multi-job script (i.e. multiScript)

USAGE
 xcrysden --script multiScript.tcl

COPYRIGHT

PURPOSE
 This is a scripting example that shows how to produce a multi-jobs.
 It uses the scripting::multiScript facility. Many times, one might
 want to produce several plots of molecular orbitals of a given
 molecule. It would be desirable that the display parameters are
 exactly the same for all plots. This is one such example, where CO
 HOMO and LUMO molecular-orbitals are printed. 

 The multiScript uses major and minor script. In the first script the
 loading of the files is specified, while in the latter script the
 operations of what to do with each file are defined. The usage of
 multiScript is:

 scripting::multiScript scriptMajor scriptMinor

 scripting::multiScript scriptMajor scriptMinor

WARNINGS
 Inside the major-script (i.e. scriptMajor) the scripting::exec
 should be used instead of scripting::open.
