The formatting of the input echo sections is controlled by a set of .INP files (there is one for elements, one for bends, one for restraints, etc.). If you change to a different set of .INP files, the format of the input echo changes.

There are a number of alternate .INP files for the echo of the element data: element0.inp, element1.inp, element2.inp and so forth. The software only reads (uses) element.inp - note, no number in this file name. Further, element0.inp is identical to the distributed element.inp (so you can get back to the original implementation).

Try this, from the /system directory:
- Copy element1.inp to element.inp (over-writting element.inp).
- Generate an input echo of the elements.
- If this isn't what you want, try again by copying element2.inp to element.inp, generate the input echo again.
- When you're finished, copy element0.inp to element.inp to get back to the original implementation.

I hope this helps.
