[Chimera-users] Finding the angle between two aromatic rings

[Eric Pettersen]

Also, if you are using the current daily build you can use the "angle"  
command to get the angle, providing the IDs of the planes as shown in  
the Planes table as arguments (or as specified in the "define" command  
if that's what you used to create the plane).
