Warren,
Personally, I'd much rather have wild-card selections in atom names and have to 
deal individually with the ill-conceived PDB files than the other way around.

David Horita

John,
 
   color red, 5paa and elem o

The problem with using asterices as wildcards in atom names is that some 
ill-conceived PDB files actually use them in atom names. 

However, PyMOL does support the use of a terminal wildcard in some cases, such 
as with the delete command...

create obj01, none
create obj02, none
delete obj*

And with residue names

color red, as*
color blue, gl*
color pink, hi*

Cheers,
Warren
