Here are the replies I got for question on sym_sphere command in chronological order:
1. from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
  how about using coot...? (not sure if it doens this exactly)
2. from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think what you are looking for can be accomplished with XPAND from the
Uppsala Software Factory thanks to Gerard J. Kleywegt and friends...

3. from Gerard
have a look at XPAND - http://xray.bmc.uu.se/usf/xpand_man.html - i think it may do what you want to do (e.g., options A, B or E)
4. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
suggested to have a look at scripts from Simon Lovell and J. Michael Word From the Richardson's lab
5. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mentioned that such a feature has been requested a while ago and version of 'O' capable of doing it already exist.

6. Alwyn promised to make that version of 'O' publicly available in the next release.

Thank you, all.

Hello All,

When using sym_sphere command 'O' initially shows only residues within the specified radius from the current center. I am trying to write out only those residues, but noting seems to work, whole molecule is being written out. The only way I found is the trivial range determination in s_a_o or pdb-wr commands, which have noting to do with sym-sphere or sphere_cen and is very elaborate. Does 'O' actually creates a data block that contains only close portion of symmetry mates? If so, I will appreciate if someone can tell the name of it. Or may be there is a prog. in CCP4 that I am not aware of that can take the current molecule and using the symm. information generate a coordinate file with all close contacts. Programs ncont, pdbset, contact, act and distang will not do it. That info will be appreciated as well.

Thanks. Vaheh.
