After that, say "c" for "define unit-cell CONTENTS", and input a reasonable number of carbon atoms (I used C20). Get out of this menu with "E". Then, choose "f" for "set up shelxtl FILES". Then, answer the question "XM/SHELXD (M) or XS/SHELXS (S) format [S]:" with "m" since we're going to use shelxd for solving the structure. Answer the question about the name (I used the spacegroup number as I knew I would have to test several possibilities). Finally, "q"uit the program.

After that you will probably need to change the wavelength, because by default xprep use Mo K_alpha, you can do it by saying "R". Get out of this menu with "E".
