Rolf, thanks for spotting this. It was a bug. Fixed for 11.3.51

that's required for RasMol compatibility

here we have taken the liberty of expanding upon the RasMol definition, 
which I see from the OpenRasMol code is based solely upon name:

#define IsAmino(x)       ((x)<=23)
...
#define IsProtein(x)     (((x)<=23) || (((x)>=43) && ((x)<=45)))

Those extra three there for protein are UNK, ACE, and FOR
Which doesn't exactly make sense to me, since

ACE could be acetyl group; acetic acid; acetate ion based on
http://atb.csb.yale.edu/xplor/hetero/ACE.html

and FOR is a carbamyl activator group based on what I see at
http://atb.csb.yale.edu/xplor/hetero/FOR.html

and "amino" is the same as RasMol, but "protein" is not.

this was a bug fixed in 11.3.51 -- you also could not use cartoons and 
traces and such with them;

this was a bug -- fixed
