[molpro-user] How to set-up molpro to find out about excited states?

Stephen,
You will need the "state" command for both mcscf and mrci.  It's listed on page
122 for mcscf.  Note that unless you change the weightings all states will be
weighted equally (so if you want to exclude the ground state you will need to
play with the weightings).
Cheers,
Benj
