I tried to use the keywords you sent to me, but it seems that firefly is having some problems with the card. This is the error message:

**** ERROR READING INPUT GROUP $SCF      *****
THE PROBLEM IS WITH THIS CARD, BEFORE OR NEAR THE $ POINTER
 $SCF SOSCF=.F. DISS=.T. DIRSCF=.T. $END

I checked to see if all the spaces were correct and it were.
