Sorry about the mangled messages. It is happening periodically since

I have one idea. Just put needs=text, so that a terminal is opened
under X11. rasmol is run from a wrapper script anyway, so I could just have
the wrapper script return an error message if it is run from a console. I
guess this is not a bad solution.
