Script Commands

The basic format is script = "command | command | command etc"

Where command specifies any valid RasMol script command (see below). Multiple commands can be separated with a "|" or ";".
for example: script = "hbonds on" will cause the hydrogen bonds to be displayed (only works for some structures)
script = "select amino | color red" will color all the amino acids red
script = "select pro | color green | select nitrogen | color yellow" colors prolines green and nitrogens yellow
