Thanks, Bob - does the trick, and makes more tricks possible.

I know it's not terribly clear, but you can't use variables within
select commands like that. Probably not worth it to explain why --
this
has to do with how exactly commands are proccessed. In any case,
you can
construct and execute any command you like using the script()
function:
load =1crn.pdb
myNum = 12;
x = script("select " + myNum)
8 atoms selected
This then removes all need for "@variableName" in a command, and it's
necessary for the script command itself.
That said, in any select command were there is a numerical check,
such as:
select resno=12
THERE you can use a variable directly, without @:
myNum = 12;
select resno=myNum
8 atoms selected
select resno < myNum
76 atoms selected
So that's even better in this case. Possibilities include those listed
in the table starting with "ATOMNO" at

Hi,
Can a variable be used for a residue number in a select command?
When I try:
myNum = 112
select @myNum
Jmol selects zero atoms (in a file where there is a residue 112).
