Just a clarification that although the contents of the Note column now update correctly, it might still be necessary to use the "Configure..." button in Model Panel to show that column.  If the notes were added before the Model Panel was started, however, the Note column will be there automatically.

Other models also have this attribute, but currently the setattr command will only work for these two types of models (m and s in the following):

>> setattr s note "this is the molecular surface" #0
