 Extremely useful catchalls, I suggest retaining as permanent commands even though there will be some redundancy:
 * '''set''' global settings: silhouettes, background color, depth-cuing parameters, shadows, lighting (if many sub-options, e.g. lighting, judiciously consider making a separate top-level command; also keeping a redundant but longer '''set''' command is OK with me) 
-* '''setattr''' (general set-attributes functionality)
+* '''setattr''' attribute values
 
 GUI-only, or do we need commands?

+Command accoutrements:
+* decide on keyword conventions
+* decide on what kinds of colorspecs are allowed
+* list of built-in color names
+* more built-in specs like protein, nucleic acid, element symbols, ''.etc.''
