[molpro-user] correlation energy

[Peter Knowles]

Yes, the default in Molpro is not to correlate orbitals which correspond 
to atomic inner-core orbitals, which is  a choice that is consistent 
with default orbital basis sets designed for valence correlation only; 
see http://www.molpro.net/info/current//doc/manual/node278.html . As far 
as I see 'core' does work:

geometry={be}
basis,sto-3g
rhf
mp2;eval=energy  ! -14.37567147
mp2;core         ! -14.37623878   
diff=eval-energy !   0.00056731
