[Chimera-users] exporting ".pov" session

[jean-francois menetret]

Hi Elaine,
I understand what you are talking about and it is great that you fixed it
but my question is not related to saving images but '.pov' files. If a 
chimera session has 2 objects A and B, can you unshow A and save a '.pov' 
sesion file containing only info from B ?
