Hubert, You need to use the mdo command, e.g.
cmd.mclear() cmd.mset("1 x10") # Set all residues to white cmd.mdo(1, "color white") # Colour a residue cmd.mdo(2, "color red, (i;51)") # Clear colour of previous residue, and highlight a new one cmd.mdo(3, "color white, (i;51); color red, (i;184)") I tried to do this using the script language, but mdo 2, color red, (i;51) causes an error on my version (Linux 0.98beta05) - I think this is a bug.
