Nope, that's not what I am saying. At least, I don't think so. I think I just wasn't watching the order of commands in my example. Here's the real code:
In the initialization script, I set the default for labels: select none font label 20 sans bold color label black in the label script, first I create a label that should pick up the defaults, and follow with a label that I want to be different: select 179:A.CA label Hsp90-N set labeloffset 0 -20 select 377:G.CA label catalytic|loop set labeloffset 0 -50 color label [xf701f7] #magenta font label 12 sans bold Everything works the first time the script is triggered. But if I send the label script again (which happens if someone turns off the labels and then turns them on again), the label on 179:A.CA is magenta and 12 point. In each case, I am labeling before I set the color and font. The same thing happens with label pointers, etc. Frieda On Feb 13, 2008, at 12:20 PM, Bob Hanson wrote: > OK, this is a bit tricky.
