Hi Prathvi,
Both of these things are much easier/better in ChimeraX, since it has commands to do them.  We are recommending everybody use ChimeraX if possible (if it has the features that they need).

In Chimera, the Reply Log has buttons to Clear and to Save, but there are no commands for those functions.  If there were commands, it would be mentioned in the Reply Log help.

 For saving only (not clearing), there are instructions of how to do it in python at the bottom of this page:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
