Paul and Bob,
Got it.
Part of my confusion here is how archaic my code was - circa 2009:
scpt = 'set Picking OFF;set Picking ON;set BondPicking TRUE;set
allowRotateSelected TRUE;unbind "LEFT-DRAG";bind "LEFT-DRAG" "quit;if (_X <
250){select WITHIN(BRANCH,{atomno=rot2}, {atomno=rot1})} else {select
WITHIN(BRANCH,{atomno=rot1}, {atomno=rot2})} rotateSelected {atomno=rot1}
{atomno=rot2} @{_DELTAY}";hover off;';
I did not know about set picking rotatebond. I'm now using this much simpler
approach.
