JW, To get the state of a multi-state system, do: get state or get state, objectName
See http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/State for a starting portal to other state-based info. You can similarly set a state: set state, stateNumber, object Hope this helps, -- Jason -- Jason Vertrees, PhD PyMOLWiki -- http://www.pymolwiki.org On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 6:06 PM, JW Feng <feng...@gene.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Once can see the current state of a multi-state object on the bottom right > corner of a PyMOL window.
