The intention is that RasMol's restrict command applies to all graphics representations. The documentation was written when there were only a handful of representations used by RasMol, and (of course) it was rarely updated as new representations were subsequently added. > Q: Are there any special cases or anomolies that I should be aware of? There may be exceptions in existing RasMol/Chime implementations; perhaps dot surfaces, Chime's solid surfaces, distance monitors, hydrogen bonds, disulphide bridges, atom labels, etc... However these should be considered bugs (perhaps quirks or features) of a particular RasMol script interpreter. Script writers shouldn't rely on "restrict none" leaving anything behind, and future versions may "fix" any anomalies that currently exist. If JMol supports more representations than RasMol and/or Chime, these should ideally also be turned off by the restrict command. In theory, "restrict none" should be a portable way for a RasMol/Chime/JMol script to reset the "display list" independent of any additional functionality that may be added in future. I hope this explains the intend or prescribed behaviour of "restrict" if not any particular implementation.
