Observations and a question regarding atom numbering in RasMol.

atom numbers can be displayed in labels using
  label %i

atoms can be selected by number using
  select atomno=1

.pdb files have an atom number in the file. This number is used as the
'atomno'.

.mol and .xyz files do not have atom numbers in the file.  Therefore,
numbers are assigned sequentially. However:
  for .mol files the atom numbers start with 1
  for .xyz files the atom numbers start with 0

(I have not checked it out in Chime, but I assume it is the same).

Question: Is there some rhyme/reason/rationale for this behavior?
