Hi,

I am loading multiple pdb files into the applet, for example,
load "fileset" "file1.pdb" "file2.pdb" "file3.pdb"

I am having trouble understanding the correct uses use of the commands file and display. The documentation has not cleared it up completely for me.

So, for example, with this script:

restrict none
select file=2 or file=3
trace 0.2

select [fe] and file=2
spacefill

display file=2 or file=3

the traces appear, but the spacefilled [fe] does not appear. Why does the rest of the structure in file2.pdb appear (in trace), and not the iron atom (in spacefill) ?

If I add the command
file 2
at the top of the script, the spacefilled [fe] does appear.

I do not understand the rationale for this- I guess I find it hard to understand the interaction of the commands "display" and "file".

Can someone please explain how these command are working?

Thanks,
Frieda
