Hi Hanspeter,
If you want to use a stock pdb that does not contain chain IDs, you should 
create
the object using either a residue or atom selection. For example
(using residue ids for kinesin)
create kin=(/1BG2///3:325/)

However, for your convenience I've attached a modified pdb that
contains different chain IDs for each molecule in the PDB.
kinesin = A
ADP = B
acetate = C
water = W

The new PDB was made using MOLEMAN2 (from the Uppsala Software Factory -
http://alpha2.bmc.uu.se/~gerard/manuals/)
