They do not work.

I did not realize that they were part of the popup menu system ... I
apologize.

Tim and I identified these as 'reserved words' and put them on our
wish-list, but it is not implemented.

The idea was/is for Jmol to recognize these things automatically, using
pattern searching within the structure.

Jmol does some recognition of 'proteins', distinct from the 'chain
identifier' specified in pdb & mmcif files.

We would like to apply some similar substructure searching to identify
lipids & carbohydrates ... but nothing has been done.


Lo siento :-(
