[chimerax-users] overwrite session aliases from the startup options

[Helge Paternoga]

Hi Elaine,

Thanks for the tip with "alias delete all", I had not considered that one.

My solution so far was to open the startup screen and copy all new 
aliases, then paste them in the command line and hit enter which 
overwrites everything with the newest ones. So a toggle option to 
"re-run startup script upon session loading" or something similar could 
alleviate the issue.

Best,

Helge
