Thanks, that definitely helps a lot.  I just realized that my original
question was poorly formulated, however: the insertion code often (maybe
always?) changes from residue to residue (PDB ID 3edx is one example).  So I
could build up a list of all insertion codes, or just use all uppercase
characters, but I'm worried about the size of the resulting selection
strings.  (I managed to crash PyMOL for the first time in years last week
with a very long selection.)  Can I instead select for a *blank* insertion
code?
