[Chimera-users] Chimera User's guide for command ine usage

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Yogendra,
Sorry, no.  Chimera does not translate the things you do in the menu and tool GUIs into a list of commands.

In many cases if you look at the Help for the part of the menu or GUI tool that you are using, it will mention what commands are similar and link to their manual pages, but you would still have to figure out the exact commands yourself.  Also, the Getting Started tutorials include “menu” and “command” parts that cover mostly the same things as each other.

Can chimera give me a ".cmd" file of all the commands such that if I run the ".cmd" file in the terminal (in Ubuntu ) without using the GUI, I can reproduce the same results ?
