Found it. Thanks. There is an unfortunate nuance to this in that
*select chain=a*
selects a different thing if "a" is defined as a variable or not. I just
realized that goes back to at least 11.8, so we will just leave it this way.
$ load =1d66
TRANSCRIPTION/DNA 06-MAR-92 1D66
DNA RECOGNITION BY GAL4: STRUCTURE OF A PROTEIN/DNA COMPLEX
found biomolecule 1: D, E, A, B
$ select chain=a
483 atoms selected
$ select chain=d
400 atoms selected
$ a="X"
$ select chain=a
0 atoms selected
$ a="D"
$ select chain=a
400 atoms selected
$ reset a
$ select chain=a
483 atoms selected
To avoid this sort of surprise, use quotes with string-type comparisons.
$ a="D"
$ select chain='a' // no substitution
483 atoms selected
