Hi David,
If you save a session file in the latest version of PyMOL there is never
the expectation that prior versions can read that file. Such "forward
compatibility" (of the older versions) is not supported. We do support,
however, "backward compatibility" which is when newer versions of PyMOL
read older session files.
Cheers,
-- Jason
