I can see that this capability of loading multiple files is starting to 
be a real hit. With that increased usage there are going to be issues 
with features. I encourage anyone using

load files "..." "..." "..."

to be alert to possible bugs or oddities in relation to this. For 
example, I just noticed that the popup menu in 11.1.36 (and all previous 
versions) does not properly represent the situation in the select menu. 
In fixing this, I have introduced a new select option that may have 
general use:

select thisModel

"thisModel" refers to "all atoms in the current model (current frame)". 
It seems to me there could be lots of applications of this:

frame next
select thisModel and helix
isosurface select(thisModel).....
select thisModel and not protein; color white

that sort of thing.

My thinking is that the popup menu, since it is supposed to reflect the 
current model (atoms, bonds, heteroatoms, etc.), should also select for 
these specifically within the currently identified model (from the 
model...) submenu. So what I have done -- and this is open for 
discussion -- is change the menu-driven select scripts to read

select thisModel and (.....)

instead of just

select ....

If one wants to select something in all models from the menu, then, it 
seems to me, one should first select "all" from the model submenu, in 
which case "thisModel" refers naturally to "all models".

Is this reasonable?

Bob
