Eric,

I’ve not used SMARTS before, so I tried your commands below:

> rings6 = {*}.find("SMARTS","c1ccccc1", true)
select rings6

and
> ringsh = {*}.find("SMARTS","c1cncn1", true)
select ringsh

Running the Jmol application, v. 14.8.0, and loading tryptophan via “load 
$tryptophan”, your selections do, indeed, identify tryptophan rings.

Not much help, but it seems to work in the app.

Matt
