Is there any way to have more than one PyMOL session respond to the same
user input?  What I would like to do is the following: 

Have several PyMOL windows open side-by-side, each containing a
different molecule.  Then, when I click and drag in any of these windows
(to effect a rotation/translation), ALL of them undergo the same
transformation.  The reason I want to do this is to compare the
structures of several related proteins, which have been superimposed and
are therefore in the same coordinate frame.  At the moment, the only way
I can do this is by loading them all into the same PyMOL session,
rotating the view, then toggling each object on/off using the menu at
the right-hand side, but this is both fiddly and does not permit easy
comparison of many structures.

So, Warren, would it be very complicated to establish some kind of IPC
commumication between PyMOL sessions, where one was designated the
'master', and all commands executed on that session were piped to each
of its 'slaves'?
