Eric,

        PyMOL will source startup files in your home directory -- just
put your commands in there:

On Mac/Unix:

$HOME/.pymolrc      (for PyMOL commands)
$HOME/.pymolrc.py   (for Python code)

On Windows:

%HOMEPATH%\pymolrc    (for PyMOL commands)
%HOMEPATH%\pymorc.py  (for Python code)

To show distances, use the distance wizard:

wizard distance

then ctrl-middle-clock on two atoms in succession.

Cheers,
Warren
