Hi PyMOLers,
I noticed some strange behaviour when I do the following:
1) Load A.pdb into MacPyMOL via "pymol A.pdb"2) Load a CHARMM simulation 
trajectory into object "A" via "load A.dcd, A"
3) Load a completely different structure (must have different number of atoms 
than A.pdb), B.pdb, into a separate/new instance/window of MacPyMOL via "pymol 
B.pdb"4) Load a CHARMM simulation trajectory into object "B" via "load B.dcd, B"
Loading of this second trajectory complains with the following error:
ObjectMolecule: plugin 'dcd' cannot open file because the number of atoms in 
the object (4551) did not equal the number of atoms in the 'dcd' (5889) file.

In this error, the number "5889" corresponds to the number of atoms in A.pdb 
while "4551" corresponds to the number of atoms in B.pdb.  Again, these are two 
separate windows of MacPyMOL (i.e. I did NOT load A.pdb and B.pdb into the same 
window).  Somehow, the first instance of PyMOL sees what is happening in the 
other.
I should mention that in the real example, "A.pdb" and "B.pdb" actually have 
the same name but are located in different directories (in case it matters).
On a non-Mac machine, these commands are fine.  As an "experienced" PyMOL user, 
it was quite embarrassing when a set of commands/steps that worked on a Linux 
workstation does not work on a Mac (especially when I was trying to show the 
simulations to a VMD user).  I'm fairly new to Macs so maybe there's something 
that I need to do?
Also, when I load up B.pdb (the second structure), the MacPyMOL doesn't seem to 
run "hide all" and "show cartoon" from my .pymolrc.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
