The reason I asked about the * is because the pdb spec says:

    The asterisk (*) is used in place of the prime character (')
    for naming atoms of the sugar group

All of these examples work today in Jmol. Because the * is a wildcard for
the entire field.

This one is different. You are using the trialing * to indicate a wildcard
match within a 'field'.

It was not clear to me from reading the RasMol documentation that this
functionality was available. All the examples in the documention use the *
to specify a wildcard match for an entire 'field'.


I have filed a bug report for this.
