[Chimera-users] Custom presets

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Oliver,
Just a couple of minor notes on your script:

(1) you don't need the # in  the disp, ribbon, represent, modelcolor, color commands; for many commands in which the atomspec is the last part, blank atomspec (nothing) means "all applicable items" (likewise, you wouldn't need the @ in window unless you want it to use only atoms)

(2) if # works for the volume command, that's fine, but it can also take the word "all"

Best,
Elaine
