Hi all,

in the scripting documentation the syntax for the 'translateSelected' 
command is described like this:

   translateSelected {x y z} {atomSet}

So the following example should work:

   translateSelected {1 1 1} {atomno=1}

But it results in the following error message:

script ERROR: bad argument count
----
          translateSelected { 1 1 1 } { atomno = 1 } <<

I tried to go back to earlier Jmol versions but couldn't find any where 
it worked as described in the documentation. Tested versions are 
14.3.12, 14.0.5, 13.3.8, 12.3.22, 11.6.

Q: Is the actual syntax different or was it actually never implemented 
as described?

The alternative Syntax without '{atomSet}' does work:

   select atomno=1;
   translateSelected {1 1 1}

But I would like to avoid it because each selection command results in a 
script console output. And I have learned recently that the output speed 
in the script console depends heavily on the number of lines written 
there already. Even a few thousand lines slow down a single output into 
the range of seconds. So if I want to translate several thousand atoms 
individually it will take many seconds or even minutes instead of much 
less without the output in the console.

Regards,
Rolf
