I think you have to specify the orbital first, by with 'Set current
orbital' (and then replacing the placeholder for the orbital you want).

I'm not sure whether you can specifiy HOMO, HOMO+1 or so, I had to count
them by hand last time (which is a bit tedious, at least mpqc and/or
mopac specifiy the HOMO/LUMO during the end of the output)

Also, it might be that you'd have to replace some value in the
command-line popup for rendering orbitals, not sure.

I only use 1.0x, so it might be different in other versions.


hope that helps,
