Hi

I'm going to need help understanding the chiral center table in Sketcher.

I'm going to need to figure out what "B/3", "F/4", "1/5" and "2/6" mean. Also, 
what cross0-6 mean and why sometimes this means there are only three atoms in 
the center and sometimes nine (are we talking larger rings here). Do I assume 
that R=+ and L=- or is there some other definition I should know about. "Both" 
seems like a nice option, but when it chooses the wrong one to regularize what 
do I do from there? I can even input a geometrically ~correct model (excepting 
some bond lengths and angles) and it switches the chiralities all ways round.

I'm working on building precorrin-2. Containing 4 chiral centers, two each 
within five member rings and those rings within a tetrapyrrole. I can build 
Uro'gen III no problem (same basic structure just without the chiral centers).

Boy wouldn't it be nice if the labels in Sketcher were just slightly offset 
from the white lines so I could actually tell C21 from C31 when there is a 
white line drawn in the middle and the label stays the same size even when I 
zoom to immense proportions.

Thanks
Heidi
