I definitely remember some mode where PyMOL would show good/bad contacts
with red/green dots, but I can't seem to figure it out now. It was in
Warren's talk as he was manually docking in a ligand. I searched, but
couldn't figure it out myself. Does anyone know how to put PyMOL into that
mode?

Cheers,
