Thanks to Miguel's advice I am able to script changes to atom features (e.g. color, size, label) for specific models in an animation using a xyz coordinate file. Now I would like to insert a monitor line between specific atoms for certain models as the animation progresses. This is desireable because animations in which molecular species move with respect to each other may cease to show elongated bonds. These could be designated by a short script:
monitor x y
set monitors off
set monitors 0.1
Unfortunately, designating the desired models by: select (*/10, *11, *12, etc.); does not work. The specified monitor line appears only in the last frame (model) of the animation. Can anyone suggest a method of inserting monitor bonds in specified models?

A second question concerns the color of the monitor line. The default color in Jmol is black, but the Rasmol manual indicates the color should be taken from the end point atoms. I believe this would be preferable, since the color monitors command would allow all other choices.
