>It seems I may have answered my own question. A space seems to be needed between the >4 and the 2. This seems to work. OK? I would be interested to hear what Brian Toby has to say, since 42/n is one of the symmetry elements and I would not expect it to be broken up with spaces (but then I am not sufficiently familiar with how GSAS does that). I would also be interested to know what EXPGUI/GSAS does with the trailing S in "P 42/n m c S" since this S is special to ICSD and means that the axes have been chosen to be not at a center of symmetry.
