Hi Hari,

In Incentive PyMOL, the entity id is loaded into the "entity_id" atom property, 
which is available as p.entity_id in the selection language and in 
iterate/alter. Since Open-Source PyMOL doesn't support arbitrary atom 
properties yet, we also populate the "custom" property with the same value. So 
this should work:

# all PyMOL versions
select 5S, custom 58

# Incentive PyMOL only
select 5S, p.entity_id in 58

Cheers,
  Thomas
