I believe you are right, John.  As I'm running it again, the initial surface
generated and displayed (prior to error correction) does not contain the
truncation, so it is most likely the error correction.  I will  run it again
without error correction to confirm and then try adjusting my peaks; I won't
waste anyone's time (Donna) looking at the data if I can correct it based on
the advice given. Thanks so much, Donna and John, for your help and prompt
responses.

Best,

Matt
