[Chimera-users] on the section command

[Elaine Meng]

Another tip:
I would also save a position (see "savepos" command) right before you start sectioning.  Then you can easily return to that point over and over, with "reset" to the saved position.  I often use this general process when I'm developing a command script for movie content.
