[Chimera-users] Recursive structure matching and acquisition of descriptive numbers

[Eric Pettersen]

Thanks Jaime — exactly right.  I realized that the “atoms1, atoms2” in my original example didn’t really give any indication of which atoms were which, which is why in my later examples I changed to "simAtoms, refAtoms”, so it’s actually “atoms2” that are the reference atoms.
