Hi All,
PyMol has it's own default settings, many of them are the historically accepted
ways to view structures, universally accepted colors, etc. and that is great,
because when someone uses the program they have to start with something! :)
And I realize most users probably open a pdb, work

This is great, but looks like it's only for Windows? Where would one put this
pymolrc.pym file on a Mac?

You are correct, if I put the pymolrc.pym file in the user folder, MacPyMol
does try to read it when it starts up.
However, it errors every time.
If I put just this one command in the file and start up PyMol, it comes back

1st, thank you for your patience and help.
2nd, for those who end up trying to also do this… Apple now hides all files in
the user folder that start with a period. Therefore, the minute you hit enter

take precedence over files without dot.
- Files ending on .py (or .pym) will be parsed as python scripts,
