Corey, PyMOL's ability to create precise atom selections can be very useful. Please see the 'select' command (http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Select). On that page, please be sure to see the two topics under the "See Also" heading. Those will illustrate how powerful 'select' can really be. Let me demonstrate a more complex selection before ending this email:
select (((name CA and chain A and (not alt 'b')) or b>50) within 5 of org) and rep spheres will select all alpha carbons in chain A with no alternate 'b' coordinates plus any atom with a b-factor greater than 50, within 5 angstroms of any atom in an organic small molecule, shown as spheres.
