Hey all,

just the other day I discovered a nifty command in pymol.
   rms_cur selection1, selection2
determines the deviation between two (previously aligned) selections
without doing a fit.  Here's what I do:
   rms_cur (object1 and i. 20:29 and (name c,o,n,ca)), (object2 and i.
30:39 and (name c,o,n,ca))

Hmmm, doesn't work.  Error:
   ExecutiveRMS-Error: No atoms selected.

OK, differnt try (debugging for beginners):
   select selection1, (object1 and i. 20:29 and (name c,o,n,ca))

So far so good.  Feedback:
   Selector: selection "selection1" defined with 40 atoms.

And again:
   select selection2, (object2 and i. 30:39 and (name c,o,n,ca))

Good again.  Feedback:
   Selector: selection "selection1" defined with 40 atoms.

Now I go for gold:
   rms_cur selection1, selection2

Arrgh, bummer:
   ExecutiveRMS-Error: No atoms selected.


What am I doing wrong??  I'm using pymol 0.95 under WinXPpro and pymol
0.95rh9 under linux/FC2.
