[Chimera-users] select chain and elements simultaneously

[Boris Steipe]

I think ...

  select :*.A at C@C?@C??

... will do that. This is:
 : - for all models
 *.A - for all residues in chain A
 @C  - select C
 @C? - also select C plus one wildcard (CB, CG ...
 @C?? - also select C plus two wildcards (CG1, CD2 ...)
