Hi Yong and Blaine,
The "alignto" command actually does allow you to specify the "mobile" objects.
PyMOL>alignto ?
Usage: alignto [ target [, method [, selection [, quiet ]]]]
For example, you could disable all excluded objects and then use "enabled" as
the selection:
disable obj1 obj2 obj3
alignto ref, super, enabled
The alternative for such a heavy task would be a custom loop in Python:
python
for name in cmd.get_object_list():
if name != "ref":
cmd.super(name, "ref")
python end
By the way, "alignto" is just a wrapper for "extra_fit", with different
argument order and default arguments. See also:

Cheers,
Thomas
