[Chimera-users] Change chain id of blank chain

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Joshua,

  Eric looked at the code and said the changechains command can’t change the blank chain id because it won’t accept a quoted space character as the chain letter.  It could be done with Python code, or as you mention you can do it with the change chain ids gui.
