[Chimera-users] pause during morph conformations

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Charles,
	Alternatively, you can also do this with the graphical interface.   
Just add each conformation twice when you are adding conformations.   
Then, choose the second conformation in the final list you've made  
(i.e. the second copy of your first conformation) and change  
"interpolation steps" to 15 (for a half-second pause).  Then choose  
the third state and change the interpolation steps to however many you  
want when it's moving.  Then choose the fourth state and use 15 again,  
etc.
	I notice that the final list of conformations wants you to click in  
with the mouse to change which one you're working on -- the up/down  
arrows keys seem to change the conformation chosen but don't update  
the rest of the interface, so beware of that.
