If you have the molecules "mol01" and "mol02" open, you can type "mol_list = cmd.get_names()" to get the list of molecules put into the variable mol_list: ['mol01' ,'mol02'].
Now let's say you've got those two molecules open and you've made some selections within those two molecules. The GL window will then have a list of objects like: "mol01", "mol02", "pk1", "pkmol", "pkresi", ... "sel01", "sel02". Does anyone know of a command analogous to cmd.get_names() that will return this list of objects from the GL window. ( cmd.get_names() still returns only ['mol01', 'mol02'] ) Thanks, Al Pierce
