Now to a comment. After some tinkering, I finally managed to output a new PDB file that contained models from several other PDB files. This, however, wasn't exactly an easy of intuitive thing to do. My first thought had been to use the 'Write PDB' command in the Model Panel. However, that button automatically greys itself out when more than one model is selected. I finally stumbled upon the command line command 'pdbrun cat > file'. So, I was able to do what I wanted, but I had to go through a rather backdoor method. Any chance that things like 'Write PDB' will be enabled when more than one model is selected? And what about a method of adding more atoms, other than just hydrogen? (I also know of 'backdoor' ways that I can do this, but I'd love to see Chimera become a more fully featured molecular modeler, and to that end, I'm quite happy to give all kinds of input.)
