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

[Eric Pettersen]

Yes, that was quite helpful.  The 'foreach' option only became available starting with the 1.3 release.  You are running 1.2.5, so you need to upgrade.

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!
