All,

I know nothing about the JEOL software and haven't looked at Julien's 
script, but technically one should include the calculated CO2 in the 
matrix correction, because adding these unanalyzed elements does change 
the matrix correction physics, often significantly.

I think I'll write up a short post on this issue on the Probe Software 
User Forum.
