Hi Elaine, I can see that the problem is that I can't copy and paste anything at all, eg. I can't copy a command from a file using command-c and paste it using command-v on the Chimera command line. It gives an error (a sound). But I can copy and paste into text files etc. I'm using Mac-OSX-10.4.11 on a PowerPC.

I'm using a Mac and was able to copy text from Terminal and paste it into both those places. The copy/paste procedure depends on your platform. Using the Mac aqua version, I highlighted text in Terminal and pressed command-c to copy, then to paste, I clicked into the blank dialog text area and pressed command- v. Using the Mac X11 version, I used the same copying procedure but then to paste, clicked into the blank dialog text area and then clicked middle mouse button. On Windows, copy and paste may be Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v. You can also get SMILES->3D from the Chimera command line, e.g. open smiles:C1CCC(O)CC1 and the copy/paste procedure there is the same, but again platform- dependent. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Structure Diagram and the Structure Editing -> Build Structure tool, and in both cases I can see a box to input the SMILES string, but the copy and paste mechanism won't work. I can enter text in
I have downloaded the latest build (Aug 30, 2009) and don't seem to be able to input a SMILES string. I have tried both the Utilities - the box, but cannot paste it in, which I need to do. Thanks for your help.
