Carsten, Hmm...
Unfortunately, the PyMOL command language currently provide any way of expressing a newline character, so you will need to use the API form of the scene command. Note that it is perfectly legal to use that form in a ".pml" file as follows, without an intervening variable: cmd.scene("new","store","line1\nline2") Cheers, Warren -- Warren L.
