Dear Kay, That looks to be an excellent start. I should like to add SHELXL as well as SHELXC/D/E, there are regularly questions about it in CCP4bb. I'm not quite clear about how to generate enough material to make it useful, obviously you don't want to simply copy the SHELX manual, and similar comments would apply to other programs. To make it more complicated, crystallographic programs are moving targets (though some move faster than others). Perhaps the best way would be to go through the CCP4bb archive and try to extract a useful consensus, though even that would be a lot of work.
Best wishes, George Prof. George M. Sheldrick FRS Dept.
