Re: using xspec_abund

You need to put quotes on the wilm and vern so that they
are strings sent to the function - otherwise isis thinks they
are variables:

isis> status = xspec_abund(wilm);
wilm is undefined
isis> status = xspec_abund("wilm");
 Solar Abundance Vector set to wilm:  Wilms, J., Allen, A. & McCray, R. ApJ 542 914 (2000) (abundances are set to zero for those elements not included in the paper).

"vern" doesn't seem to exist for me, however:
isis> status = xspec_abund("vern");
isis> status;
-1
