Hi Jason, thanks for the comprehensive answer.
One question though, is the line

iterate first my_res, stored.r = resn



correct this way? Are there no braces or quotation marks needed? Its not 
perfectly clear to me if 'first' and 'my_res' are selections (indicated 
by braces) or objects (name without braces in the main window).
I understand 'resn' is something like 'GLU', if I want to know how many 
GLU rotamers are in the library.

Thanks again
Martin
