Elaine and Tom,
Many thanks for the suggestions. The "execute command" tag is an interesting workaround.

> Chimera had a "pause" command that waited for a key press, but ChimeraX does not have that command currently.

> If you want to have a list of commands that you control when each one executes, you can instead make a special HTML file so that the commands will execute only when you click them, like some of our tutorials. You have to open the HTML file in ChimeraX (e.g. with command "open <URL>" or "open localfile.html") for this mechanism to work.
