Thanks to Michael and Warren for a quick and correct but somewhat
baffling solution. In OSX, one renames an application and it starts up
looking quite dissimilar from before. I'm still new to the Gospel
according to Steve, and I wouldn't mind enlightenment.
In any case, using MacPyMOL as PyMOLHybrid also solves the problem of
physically separating the viewer from the external gui, without which
one couldn't fully harness the power of multiple screens.
A side note regarding Michael's instructions: APBS doesn't require
fink. (I haven't even figured out what fink is yet. Some sort of yum
for OSX?) One can just download the Mac OSX binary from WUSTL and
install it as per default. Works like a charm, as does APBS itself.
Much better than on my Fedora 7 system, I'm embarrassed to admit ;-)

I would like to use apbs from within PyMOL. I have downloaded and
installed the latest version of apbs, and apbs_tools.py exists in
$PYMOL_PATH/modules/pmg_tk/startup/. However, I find no "plugins" entry
in any of the PyMOL menus.
I think that you need to rename the application bundle to
"PyMOLX11Hybrid" in order to use plugins.
Am I blind or daft? But the question I'd
really like to have answered is how do I get abps to work.
I would suggest
1) register APBS here http://agave.wustl.edu/apbs/download/
2) Install fink ( http://finkproject.org/ ) and then use it to install
apbs (e.g. by typing "fink install apbs" on the command line).
hope that helps,

I'm using educational MacPyMOL, which "integrates and extends
Open-Source PyMOL 1.0r1".
Thanks.
