Dear Molpro Users!

I would appreciate if somebody could help me as regards the geometry
optimization of excited state with multi-reference method.
My problem is that I want to optimize the first excited state, but
during the geometry optimization the ground state energy changes are
shown in the molpro.log file:

How I should set the optimization routine in order to show the first
excited state energy changes.
The energy gradient (for first excited state) is calculated in a
correct way, but its energy change is not shown in the molpro.log file

Here is my input section:
