Hi all,

Tsjerk- Thanks. I'm not sure how I missed that, given that it's even
mentioned on the wiki on the surface page under the clear heading
"Exporting Surface/Mesh Coordinates to File" :-|. (
http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Surface#Exporting_Surface.2FMesh_Coordinates_to_File).
I don't know anything about VRML, but I found some documentation online at
http://www.c3.hu/cryptogram/vrmltut/part5.html and it looks really
straightforward. The surface will show up in the VRML file as an
IndexedFaceSet, and the points are just XYZ triples, and I can safely
ignore everything else.

Darrell- Thanks. I'll build that in as an option.

Takanori- Thanks. That's really cool. I happen to want solvent accessible
surfaces rather than isosurfaces, but "dump" is definitely going into my
bag of tricks.

Cheers,
-Michael
