[Chimera-users] Writing data to a text file

[Prathvi Singh]

Thanks Elaine for the help. I checked out ChimeraX & it is definitely much
more user-friendly. The presence of the reply log at the right side really
helps keep track of the actions one is performing and THANKS A LOT for the
undo feature. I really miss it in Chimera. Still, I wonder if there is a
way or a plugin to incorporate the "undo" command in chimera...
