I support this idea. Also, I remember reading somewhere that selectionHalos
is supposed to be set ON by default when a file is loaded - which in my
case actually does not happen when I load from the scripting console.

Also on the topic of selection & scripting console (but otherwise slightly
off-topic, so tell me if you think I'd better open a different thread):
when selecting with the keyword 'select' from the console, it is possible
to use the comma to select multiple atoms at once. This works for me,
however, only when I refer to those atoms by using their 'label' names
(e.g. O3, H1, C7 etc). If I use the 'species array' notation - e.g.
(_O)[1], (_Si)[4] - it is not possible for me to select multiple atoms in
this way, even when the single atoms are individually selectable. This
happens even if I use the keyword OR. I'm not sure whether this is supposed
to happen, but it seems to me it's not very consistent.
