I think the current way is to use the pk1 and pk2 selections. Assuming you're not using the distance wizard, Ctrl-right-click selects something as pk1 and gets rid of the other pkX selections. Double-right-click selects something as the next pkX selection. So .. Ctrl-right click to select the first atom. Then double-right-click to select the second atom. Then type "dist" to show the distance.
If you're using the distance wizard, you can use any combination of ctrl-right-clicks and double-right-clicks. (I have never used MacPyMOL, but I think this is the same across all PyMOLs) -michael > The ref manual says to measure distances you can ctrl-shift left, and > then right click to select the positions to measure.
