WIDPLT will not properly handle the type 4 profile function. Marc's
suggestion is good, but it works only for a limited set of reflections,
but not the general case. Furthermore, LY is for Cauchy (Lorentz)
broadening, this is true with the Sxx terms only when eta=1. With eta=0
this broadening is Gaussian. 

A better solution would be to be able to plot the width along a preset
vector (100, 111, 531, whatever) but I have no plans to do this anytime
soon. If anyone is so inclined, they could do this themselves (the
WIDPLT code is in the gsas/expgui directory).

I seem to recall that the one-phase option in REFLIST prints a list of
reflections and their FWHM. This may be a better way to solve your
problem.
