Dear Anna,

thank you a lot for the reply and for the explanation and the solution
to the problem.
Now my routine gives the correct output:

              67 0.27700E-02 0.27700E-02
              68 0.34205E-02 0.34205E-02
              70 0.45000E-02 0.45000E-02
              71 0.40087E-02 0.40087E-02
              73 0.17847E-02 0.17847E-02
              74 0.26316E-02 0.26316E-02

As a summary:
1. The energy deposition along the track is scored in the main part of
mgdraw with:
       CALL GEOR2N ( MREG, NRGNAM, IERR2 )
       IF (NRGNAM(1:6).EQ.'SCINT0') THEN
        DO J = 1,MTRACK
         ERULL0 = ERULL0 + DTRACK(J)
        ENDDO
       ENDIF

2. The point-like energy deposition is scored in ENDRAW with:
       CALL GEOR2N ( MREG, NRGNAM, IERR2 )
       IF (NRGNAM(1:6).EQ.'SCINT0') THEN
        ERULL0 = ERULL0 + RULL
       ENDIF



Thank you,
Best regards,
Riccardo Dal Bello
