Class -- since it will be about a week before we are really "into" 
Gaussian and a couple of weeks before you are ready to enter XYZ files 
into Gaussian, I thought it might be easier for your to use another 
freely available program to look at your XYZ files for the symmetry capsule.

I would like you to try JMOL.  It will require that Java is running on 
your system, but, because it is Java based, will work on PC's, Macs, and 
Linux.

Here is the webpage to go get the program.  If you have problems 
installing, please let me know.

http://jmol.sourceforge.net/

I will be sending out more info later today.
