The search specification that you gave is not correct. You want:

 restrict within(group, within(5.0, 648:s))

The command that you gave:
 restrict within(648, within(5.0, 648:s))

Is restricting to within 648 rasmol units of any atom that is within 5.0
angstroms of any atom in group #648 of chain 's'

A rasmol unit is 1/250 Angstrom. The following are equivalent:

 restrict within(648, within(5.0, 648:s))

OR

 restrict within(2.59, within(5.0, 648:s))

OR

 select 648:s
 select within(5.0, selected)
 select within(2.59, selected)
 restrict selected


RasMol units are a disaster ... people writing scripts should always use
decimal numbers to specify angstroms.

(I realize that in this case you were trying to specify a group number)

I am sorry that my previous message was not clear.

You are trying to select groups.
You need to use the word 'group' in the within clause of the query
specification.

Correct.

 select within(group, <set-specification>)

will select all the atoms in any group that is referenced by the
<set-specification>

So
 restrict within(group, within(5.0, 648:s))

can be rewritten as:

 #select all atoms in group 648 chain s
 select 648:s
 #anything within 5.0 angstroms of any of those atoms
 select within(5.0, selected)
 #any atom that is in the same group as any selected atom
 select within(group, selected)
 #only show those atoms
 restrict selected
