Hi Gwen,
You should really read the manual. Many of these basic questions can be
answered by a few minutes of careful reading.
One way of doing what you want to do is to make a small script (we will
call it script.pml) that loads your PDB and then creates a selection
containing all your residues of interest.
This is script.pml:
load your.pdb, foo
create interestingstuff, ((/foo//A/27,28,141,144,148)
show sticks, interestingstuff
read this into PyMOL by typing:
@script.pml
this would display residues 27,28,141,144, and 148 of chain A of your
molecule foo.
You need to become familiar with the various atom selection schemas
available in PyMOL to put this to best use for yuor particular PDB.
Ciao,
Scott

Hello everyone:
Please excuse this question if it is answered elsewhere.
I have a structure that I would like to highlight a lot of residues
with a different color and have in a spacefilling mode. These
residues are listed in another (text) file. I've been doing the
selection manually, but was wondering if there was anyway to automate
this process at all, ie, using the text file and some sort of import
control.
Any ideas/directions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advacne,
Gwen
