NEL Value fixing

Hi Reshma

the &BS section is not quite intuitive. If you are looking for Cr(+2) with 
a 3d^4 configuration (i.e. with four alpha and zero beta 3d electrons as an 
initial guess), then you may try the following for the Cr kind:

  &BS
   &ALPHA
    N    4  3
    L    0  2
    NEL -2  3
   &END ALPHA
   &BETA
    N    4  3
    L    0  2
    NEL -2 -5
   &END BETA
  &END BS

Best regards

Matthias
