I'm not certain the following message made it into the listing, so I'm reposting it.

In the course of scripting changes during an animation using a xyz file, I would like to insert a monitor line between specific atoms in certain models as an 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, such as:

monitor x y
set monitors off
set monitors 0.1

Unfortunately, designating the desired models by: select (*/1, *2, *3, etc.); does not seem to work. Curiously, 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 of an xyz animation?

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.
