Needed Command Functionality

   - I suggest BILD-like position specification; Chimera1 '''shape''' position specification is much too difficult
 * '''scene''' save, restore, list
-* fancy-shaped clipping (if global add options to '''clip''', otherwise to '''mclip''' if feasible; Chimera1 has octant stuff in '''vop''' subcommands)
 * '''label''' (possibly merge with '''rlabel'''; takes care of individual settings, whereas '''set''' or another command would set related global parameters)
   - whether global or not, I'd like a command control for font/fontsize (this isn't in mentioned in the features list, though)
 * '''2dlabels'''
 * '''colorkey'''
-* '''save/export''' PDB, volume data, ''etc.'' (question: what is the distinction between save and export?  I don't understand how various programs divide output into these categories)
+* '''save''' PDB, volume data, ''etc.''
 
 Expanded functionality of existing commands:
 * '''style''' options for pseudobonds: dotted and dashed sticks, dotted and dashed lines (but do we really need the latter any more?)
+* fancy-shaped clipping (if global add options to '''clip''', otherwise to '''mclip''' if feasible; Chimera1 has octant stuff in '''vop''' subcommands)
 * '''set''' (or other command) global settings: background color gradient, multiple-layer transparency
 * '''setattr''' (or other command) attributes: material properties

-Again listed but not necessarily as commands:
-* '''cartoon''' (or whatever we're calling the ribbons-plus command) options for cylinders/pipes, planks
-* tube option(s) for cartoon '''style'''
-* ring fill, aromaticity, bond multiplicity options for atom '''style'''
+Again listed but not necessarily as commands; mainly expanded functionality of existing commands:
+* '''cartoon''' options for cylinders/pipes, planks (or should these be cartoon options within '''style'''?)
 * '''surface''' provisions for multiple surfaces on same atoms, including SAS and/or SES

-Expanded functionality of existing commands:
 * atoms/bonds ring fill, aromaticity, and bond multiplicity display (sub-options of '''style stick''' and/or settable with '''setattr''')
 * '''style''' option for cartoons, '''tube''' (similar to our current rounded licorice)
