Along these lines, PyMOL also allows one to quit the program without prompting that you may have unsaved work (i.e., the session has changed since the last time a .pse file was written). Is this also easily implemented?

PyMOL will now issue a warning if you save a PDB file using an extension it does not recognize. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
