hi Burk, I don't think you can select chains in RasMol using any of the menus - just the command line. am I mistaken? in the Jmol applet, if you open the Jmol Console (from the popup menu), you can enter script commands to your heart's delight - including selecting chains, etc. AFAIK, this is analagous to Rasmol. I do agree that a more customized popup menu would be a very nice addition to Jmol, though. hth, tim -- Timothy Driscoll molvisions - see, grasp, learn. <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:wake forest "You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity." - Robert Heinlein ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
