It's a feature. Both the "select" and the "distance" command actually take as first argument the name of the object which they will create. But they are "smart" enough to recognize when you skipped the first argument, then they use default names (sele, dist01). So better write this: select lysca, resn LYS and n. CA distance lysdist, lysca, lysca Cheers, Thomas -- Thomas Holder PyMOL Developer Schrödinger Contractor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
