Hey Gordon,
I don't quite understand your problem. Pymol can be run in the
background (or even remotely) by calling it as
pymol -qc script.py
When you want to use it interactively, the shell it was started from is
used for all sorts of output. Why do you need this shell? Just open
another (shift-ctr-T to get a new tab, or something like that). And
what does it have to do with changing directories? Maybe the day has
been too long for me to think clearly.

Hi
I seem to be having trouble running pymol (v1.0, gentoo) in the
background from a terminal, neither appending "&" nor "ctrl+z" followed
"bg" is doing the trick. In both cases pymol freezes during certain
operations, eg opening pdbs, drawing cartoon. The window controls
themselves respond. Don't want to have to change directory in pymol all
the time. Any ideas?

I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to
understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language
devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.
