Hi Hernando, The answer is to close IDLE — you don’t need it to enter your script. Instead put your script in a python file (something.py) and then open this file with the open command or menu: File… Open. Best, Elaine

Dear Elaine
from chimera.tkgui import saveReplyLog saveReplyLog("savefilename")
Does not seem work, the resulting file is empty. I think the reason is that when idle is open the output of a command like from chimera import runCommand as rc rc("measure mapValues #0 #3 name vdatatom report all")
is directed to the python shell instead to the Reply log.
So I am still unclear on how I can save the output to a file within a python script?
Thanks
Hernando
