[chimera-dev] session files

[Tom Goddard]

The Chimera session saving code is in the SimpleSession Python module

	chimera/share/SimpleSession

which has a saveSession(filename) function.  The written session files are Python code.  To put that into an HDF5 file as a string you probably would write it to a temporary file then read that file and put it into your HDF5.  Restoring the session is done by running that Python code within Chimera using the Python execfile() function.
