Hello Ajay

> http://wiki.jmol.org:81/index.php/AtomSets

As I wrote most of the page you cite, I'll try to answer first. (although that 
info is collected 
from other places, not invented or written by me)

First, we must make sure there is no misunderstanding. Do you refer to atoms 
belonging to 
PDB HETERO groups, in HETATM records? 
(in organic chemistry, heteroatoms are non-carbon atoms)

As I understand it, the code can be disperse, but I know for sure that many of 
these are 
defined in JmolConstants.java
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jmol/trunk/Jmol/src/org/jmol/viewer/JmolConstants.java?vie

For more technical terms, you need help from the programmers, for that maybe 
Bob and 
most likely Miguel --but they will read your post for sure and answer when they 
can--.

I don`t understand exactly what you mean. The predefined sets already 
"classify" somehow. 
Are you interested in just HETATMs? Not sure Jmol will make much of a 
distinction between 
HETATMS and ATOMS.  Wait..., the pop-up menu has a "select all HETATM", so 
there must 
be a way...  Aha! I had forgotten: "select hetero"
So, maybe you can do things like "select hetero and nucleic"

But you need to explain better what you want.
