Todd, Try MacPyMOL for the full PYMOL effect. http://delsci.com/macpymol
There is also a new command in the 0.95 series: split_states object-name which will spread a PDB "biological unit" (or any multi-state object -- including SD files) over a series of independent objects. This makes it possible to interact with such objects more naturally than with "all_states = 1". load 1c8e.pdb1, 1c8e split_states 1c8e delete 1c8e zoom spectrum b hide lines set cartoon_sampling,3 show cartoon bg_color grey70 set hash_max, 150 ray ... orient zoom complete=1 ray image & screen-shot at: http://delsci.com/img/1c8e.jpg http://delsci.com/img/1c8e-screen.jpg Note that looking at large systems such as this (255300 atoms) may take some extra RAM -- 1.5 GB is recommended for this task, and it still takes a dual 2 Ghz G5 85 seconds to render...
