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,
