Jason, I think the solution is to create a copy of the object, then render one copy as cartoon, and the other as sticks. The colouring will then be independent.
By the way, does anyone kwow if it is possible to invoke the command window after startup? I normally launch PyMOL with -x, but sometimes later need the command window, and have to restart the program.
