Hi Yasser,
	You will need to resort to Python, though a simple script would do  
it.  Assuming you are using the matchmaker command to do the matching,  
and that the reference structure is open as model 0, then...

from chimera import runCommand
numModels = 350
for modelNum in range(1, numModels+1):
	runCommand("mmaker #0 #" + str(modelNum))

Put the above in a .py file and open it using File...Open or the  
"open" command.  Change "350" in the script to however models you have.
