Hi,

here's how to do it.

in your working copy of run_star_extras, replace 
     include 'standard_run_star_extras.dek'
by the contents of the included file from star/public

Don't make any edits to any of the files in star/public. 
You do all of this in your private copy of run_star_extras.

before doing anything else, let's make sure your working copy of run_star_extras works.
edit the extras_controls routine 
     subroutine extras_controls(s, ierr)
        type (star_info), pointer :: s
        integer, intent(out) :: ierr
        ierr = 0
        write(*,*) 'hello from extra_controls'
     end subroutine extras_controls

then, in your work directory, do ./mk and ./rn to check that it is okay.

assuming that worked, now edit the function how_many_extra_log_columns 
to specify the number of columns you'll add.
then edit the subroutine data_for_extra_log_columns to give
the names and values.   these 2 routines will be called every time
the system writes a new line in star.log

you can also add columns to profiles by editing the routines
how_many_extra_profile_columns and data_for_extra_profile_columns.

good luck!
