Hi James, Just a follow up, I would still recommend you use the script in a file to do this as it is less messy but it can be done:
pymol -c -d ' from pymol import cmd cmd.load("A.pdb") cmd.load("B.pdb") cmd.load("C.pdb") cmd.super("C*","A*") cmd.super("B*","A*") cmd.bg_color("white") cmd.save("output.pse") ' If you paste the above as is in shell It should work provided you are the directory containing the 3 pdb files Executing pymol with -d flag in shell means you can input pymol commands, to get around indentation you can run leave an ' apostrophe at the end to paste the scripts in and execute all as a string without needing to save as a file Just for reference, the -c flag is "batch processing (no GUI)" and the commands above can be saved into a python file and ran using: pymol -c -r "path_to_script" Hope this helps.
