[Chimera-users] delegate

[Conrad Huang]

Chimera is a completely different program than Midas but has retained 
some of the command language from Midas.  The "delegate" command was not 
implemented because Chimera's Python interface provides a much richer 
environment for writing extensions. 
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/Examples/index.html provides 
some examples on extending Chimera using Python.  (There is a ReadStdin 
tool, 
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/readstdin/readstdin.html, 
which enables a single process to control Chimera via Midas commands, 
but it is intended for use by programs that start Chimera themselves.) 
Can you give a little more detail about what you'd like to do with 
Chimera?  Thanks.

Conrad
