Hi S,

If you enter Chimera commands, for example

      command:  addh

      command:  col byatom

you can save them from the Command History either as the original  

Chimera commands or their Python translations.  Open Command History  

(click black triangle to the right side of the command line, choose  

"Command History").  In the Command History, choose the lines you  

want to save, then click "Record..."

This brings up another dialog for saving to a file.  Choose the  

option to "Record as Python commands" and save the file.  In this  

example, the file contains

import Midas

from Midas.midas_text import makeCommand

makeCommand('addh')

makeCommand('col byatom')
