Dear Chimera users,

I am getting to know Chimera a bit more and was just going through the
scripting tutorial here:
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/Workshops/UCSF-Fall-2005/09-ScriptDemo/Scripting_Tutorial.html

For the command line script 1gfl.com, the tutorial just says "run it"
but does not say how. I just typed "run 1gfl.com" in the chimera
command line, but I get a syntax error in the script. I can't seem to
copy the error text, so a screenshot is attached. Is this an issue
with the script or how I am running it?

I use chimera v. 1.4 on win XP - 64bit

It's an issue with how you are running it. There is no "run" command per se, but since Chimera allows you to shorten command names "run" is equivalent to "runscript", which executes a Python script (optionally with arguments). Since the script is Chimera commands, not Python, you naturally get a syntax error. To run the script you should use the "open" command or File...Open in the menus.
