+<h3>Error running TCLDUMP (LIVEPLOT or BKGEDIT)</h3> 
+<DL><DL>
+The program TCLDUMP (or program HSTDMP if TCLDUMP is not found) is used to read
+the binary <I>expnam</I>.Pxx and <I>expnam</I>.Rxx files produced by 
+POWPREF and GENLES so that refinement results can be plotted.
+If there is an error reading these files, an error message is produced
+reading "There was an error running the TCLDUMP program..." 
+and the text of the error message reads something like 
+"Invalid command name 'FORTRAN'".
+The most common reason for this error is that the 
+<I>expnam</I>.Pxx and <I>expnam</I>.Rxx files do not exist (because you have
+not run POWPREF or have moved/renamed the .EXP file. It is possible, 
+but less common for this error to occur if TCLDUMP tries to read files
+produced by an older version of GSAS (since the internal format of the 
+binary files sometimes changes). If you see this message, run POWPREF & GENLES
+to force these files to be written. If the GSAS results can be plotted in
+POWPLOT, but not in LIVEPLOT or BKGEDIT, please contact Brian Toby at
