If the demo must do this, the only possibility (that I know of) is to do it in a python script. In the demo, you can use the "open" command to open and execute the *.py file (the script, which would be one of your demo data files).<br><br>For example, in the "Hormone-Receptor Complex Demo" that comes with Chimera, there is an "undo" command in panel 6 that opens a python script.
