Hi Tom This all dates back to compatibility with Rasmol and Chime scripts. Rasmol was designed to be used mostly with pdb files, and Jmol 10 wanted to inherit that functionality (which is just wonderful for us biochemists ;-) ). So, these are Rasmol tokens that shouldn't change, but I think

You have a point, Rich, but what kind of options could we have for nonprotein molecules? There is select by element and by symmetry already. The list of selectable elements could be certainly expanded (ideally, to cover all elements present in the model, as it is done for amino acids). The

Dear Jmol users, The pop-up menu has some entries under Select Hetero that I'd like to reword. - They are only fully understood by those knowing the script language (and the popup menu should be clear for naive users) - In English, some are redundant - In other languages, they are confusing,
