Hi,

   It may just be a typo in your letter, but there should only be
a single space between the last zero and the "P".  Spacing matters
in PDB files.

Thanks for all those quick replies! Im sorry my post didnt carry the
CRYST1 line.
It should have read:

CRYST1   86.316   86.316  279.245  90.00  90.00 120.00  P 65

I tried all your suggestions but I still cannot get coot to read the SG.

What is strange is that when coot starts up (coot --pdb ABCD.pdb) it
gives these information messages in terminal:

<...snip>

(handle-read-draw-molecule-with-recentre "ABCD.pdb"    1)

It apparently cannot read the space group info from the
standard-residues.pdb either. The CRYST1 line from that pdb reads as
follows:

CRYST1   40.631  109.180   93.243  90.00  90.00  90.00 P 1

This pdb seems to be part of the coot install. I haven't touched this
file before.

Any thoughts? And thanks for your time.

your CRYST1 card is most likely missing the actual space group name. You
 can fix this with e.g. pdbset:

 pdbset xyzin your.pdb xyzout pdb-with-spacegroup-name.pdb << eof
 spac P21212
 end
 eof

 where you replace P21212 with your actual space group name.
