Summary: Script: chain expression seems to be always in upper case

Initial Comment:
In rasmol script, it does not seem to be possible to
distinguish chain "a" from chain "A" for select,
restrict and define expression. For example, "select
:a" will select chain "A".

The behavior is the same in RasMol. 
Nevertheless, it can make some selection difficult. For
example, in the PDB files 1ML5, there is a chain "A" and
also a chain "a" (as allowed by the PDB specification).
I think automatically conversion to upercase makes the
script writing easier. 
Maybe an option to allow upercase/lowercase distinction in
script or a specific symbol before the chain to force the
case to be respected coud be usefull for certain files.

Well, this behavior was intentional ... but it may not be
correct. 

It looks like the PDB spec says that the 'chainID' field can
be any character. 

The program SCOP automatically converts everything to upper
case. 

I *thought* that was the behavior of RasMol/Chime. Do you
know what RasMol does with upper/lower case chars? 

Let's keep talking about this. 


Miguel
