[xcrysden] how to identify k-space axes in Fermi Surface picture

Dear Tone,

I cannot find a window having a "Tools" option anywhere.  Once a Fermi
Surface is drawn, there are only four windows turning up:
"***XCrySDen***", " BARGraph", "Band widths", and "***XCrySDen - Fermi
Surface:", all of which do not have the option. Before drawing a Fermi
Surface, "Tools" can be recognised in the window "XCrySDen", but it is
not highlighted, meaning that we cannot press it.  Could you tell me
how to choose the option, please?

Regards,
Kiyo
