Dear Bob,

I'd like to suggest that "select 525-696:a" should select any 
residues with coordinates in the specified sequence range, regardless 
of whether residue 525 or 696 happens to have coordinates. For 2rd0, 
where 525-696:a is a domain of interest in Figure 1 of the primary 
reference, zero atoms are selected by Jmol because residue 525 lacks 
coordinates. The same command works in Chime (all residues with 
coordinates in the specified range are selected).

Thus, I suggest that the above command should be equivalent to

select :a and resno >= 525 and resno <= 696

which does work in Jmol.

It is quite frustrating to enter a residue range and get nothing 
selected. One must then determine what is the first residue in the 
desired range that has coordinates -- if indeed one realizes that 
some residues in the specified range do have coordinates, rather than 
the entire range being missing. Such a determination is time 
consuming and should be unnecessary.

In 2rd0, after determining that residues 506-527 lack coordinates, 
one can issue "select 528-696:a" which works.

Thanks, -Eric
