Stephane, What I've done in these situations is broken the many-residue blocks (typically water) into different chainID's and segid's. Then select with by both residue number and segid (or chainID or both). That said, I don't think segid's are a part of the official pdb specification anymore (although pymol doesn't have a problem with them).
As for getting around the 5-digit limit in overall atoms, I think different packages have different tricks, including ***** (not particularly useful) and hexadecimal (vmd/namd). Overall, this points out a glaring problem with fixed-width fields, but that's another discussion... Regards, David ----------------------------- David A.

So how could you possibly have a PDB file with residue identifiers larger than 9999?
