[Chimera-users] write selected command

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Ed,
The "write" command only allows you to save one model at a time.
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/write.html>

To save multiple models to one PDB file you have to use the GUI  
("File... Save PDB" or "Actions... Write PDB").
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#pdb>

Sorry about that,
Elaine
