> Is there some recommended way to run a file of code?
Gilleain is right on about the run command. On Windows and linux, you
can also create .pym files that will specifically open into PyMOL.
Another alternative is to use Python import capability.
And of course, within pml files you can use blocks with explicit
continuation lines:
if a == b: \
for c in range(1,10): \
print c
etc.
