But in fact one *can* still turn them on and off, with the "enable" or
"disable" command on the command line:
enable _dist1
disable _dist1
And it would be straightforward to put those commands within a loop:
# turn them all off:
for i in range(100):
cmd.disable("_dist1%s" % i)
# turn them all on:
for i in range(100):
cmd.enable("_dist1%s" % i)
Change "100" to whatever is appropriate.
Cheers,
Rob
