The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        macOS-13.6.3-x86_64-i386-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 1.8.dev202402272053 (2024-02-27 20:53:19 UTC)
Description
Many of the commands are not working. For instance, when I do "start Side View" or "color blue :Ala," the system says that they are unknown commands.
