================================   MAXWELL   ===================================


 Maxwell distribution is a widget based graphical interface to calculate the 
 spectrum of neutron Maxwell source as a function of the neutron wavelength or 
 energy.

 DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROLS IN THE MAIN WINDOW:

 File:
   Maxwell distribution input parameters: This option allows to save the current
		parameters to a file for later loading. It also allows to save the 
		current parameters as defaults for being used when the application is 
		initialised. In the last case, the file is named "application".xop 
		(where "application" is the name of the current XOP application) and 
		is written in the directory pointed by the XOP_DEFAULTS_DIR 
		environment variable (which must be set). The parameter file is ASCII 
		and can be read and edited with care.
   Write Files for XOP/Optics: Saves the current neutron Maxwell source spectrum 
		in the SRCOMPE (versus energy of neutrons in MeV) and SRCOMPW (versus 
		wavelength of neutrons in ) files to be used for the other XOP 
		application from Optics menu.
   Quit: to exit from the program

Set_Parameters:
   Set Parameters: to define the parameters for the calculation. The same result 
		is obtained pressing the "Set Parameters" button in the main Maxwell 
		distribution window. 
   Set Defaults: Sets the default parameters.

Show: Display results
   Plot Results: Plots the Maxwell distribution results.
   View Results: Displays the Maxwell distribution outputs.

Help: Shows the Maxwell distribution help (this text).
