[chimerax-users] error with open :: 'foreach' has no suffix

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Amith,
	I don't care so much about the contents of your script per se — I'd like to see the contents of the log when the error occurs.  Do this:  run the command that generates the "'foreach' has no suffix" error and then use Help→Report A Bug and submit a bug report.  That will include the contents of the log, which is what I need to see.  Thanks!
