Hi Magnus,
The command is 'alter', not 'alter resi' or 'alter_resi'. The function
is therefore 'cmd.alter()', which takes as first argument a selection
string and as second an operation string (expression). The key aspects
to understand are that (most) commands have associated functions
cmd.command() and that selections and everything that contains
anything not just a number should be passed as strings. Then, it
becomes almos trivial to translate the information from 'help command'
to a function call. So, what you need is:
cmd.alter("resi 225-232","ss='h' ")
A more direct approach for the function syntax can be obtained by using
help(cmd.alter)
You then get an additional line showing the function with all
arguments and a pointer to the module it comes from.
Hope it helps,
Tsjerk
