simply doing:

  load mapfile.ccp4, map_object_name

will load the map, but if the filename doesn't end in '.ccp4', then you'll
need to specify that it is CCP4 format with something like:

  load mapfile.ccp4_map, map_object_name, 1, ccp4

Then you'll want to display it with a similar sort of isomesh command
that you would have used for the xplor map.

  isomesh mesh_object_name, map_object_name, contour level, selection, radius

The on-line manual describes this pretty clearly (in fact, probably
better than I have!):
