[Chimera-users] searching chimera archieve

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Bala,
Although not helpful for your "salt bridge" example, in general I  
recommend searching the documentation (Help... Search Documentation in  
the Chimera menu) before searching the chimera-users archive.  I will  
try to put something in the documentation that mentions salt bridges,  
although it may not happen right away (many many things need  
documentation!).
Best,
Elaine
