'Morning to everybody!

I have some trouble about the postprocessing in pp.x, and maybe some of 
you could give me some nice idea about:

I use to calculate |PSI|2 for some of the state(of interest!) of my 
system, so HOMO, HOMO-1, LUMO etc...
with pp.x
and next to  plot them again with pp.x in order to achieve the right 
input format for Xcrysden.
I do this for each separate state I calculate with pp.x (here the input 
file, that works!..):

first step (pp.x @ pw_3.2)

&inputpp
 prefix = 'scf'
 outdir = '${DIR_SCRATCH}'
 filplot= '${DIR_SCRATCH}PSI2.0${STATE}'
 plot_num=7
 kpoint = 1
 kband = ${STATE}
/
STATE = number of orbital I want to plot....

next plot part:

&inputpp
/
&plot
  nfile=1 ,
  filepp(1)='PSI2.0${STATE}' ,
  weight(1)=1.0 ,
  iflag=3 ,
  output_format=5 ,
  x0= 0.0 0.0 0.0 ,
  fileout='./PSI2_0${STATE}.xsf'
/

finally my question:

instead having for each state one corresponding file.xf ("HOMO.xsf" and 
"LUMO.xsf" for example) and  to plot HOMO and LUMO separately for the 
same system with Xcrysden, is there the possibility to obtain only one 
file.xsf in order to plot the HOMO and LUMO on the same structure with 
Xcrysden??

Have I been too unclear?

Nevertheless, thanks in advance!
cheers!
