1st, thank you for your patience and help. 2nd, for those who end up trying to also do this… Apple now hides all files in the user folder that start with a period. Therefore, the minute you hit enter after changing the name to .pymolrc, the file disappears. You have to run a third party app that allows you to see the hidden files. I used TinkerTool.
This works and solved the problem! Thanks! On Jan 30, 2013, at 12:59 PM, Nat Echols <nathaniel.ech...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 10:56 AM, H.
