[Chimera-users] Can you delete a residue attribute?

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Mungo,
	Yeah, the command language lacks any way to completely delete an attribute.  I could enhance ~setattr to also allow deletion, but before I do that work, can you describe why you need to completely delete the attribute rather than set its value to None?  Thanks.
