OK ... I thought that you were on v10.

Ooops ... looks like we forgot to put this in the menu :-(

For now, use the right-click popup menu. The functionality to turn on the
unit cell box is there. It has more capabilities because you can choose
the diameter and color of the edges of the box.

If you want to write scripts you can say

set unitcell on # one pixel
set unitcell dotted
set unitcell 2 # 2 pixels wide
set unitcell 0.1 # 0.1 angstrom radius

color unitcell orange
color unitcell <your favorite color>

Egon says that v10 has all the crystal cell functionality that v9 had.
Therefore, I strongly recommend that you use v10.

The next prerelease version will contain the crystal entries in the main
menu. For now, just use the right-click popup menu.
