Hi,

I am looking at an output file generated by FFFEAR, where lots of
potential helices are written to a PDB file. Each helix candidate is
written with a different chain ID. I would like to jump to each
consecutive chain, then delete the whole chain in one go if I don't like
it.

My question is, what's the best way to do this. I have played with XFIT,
and can't seem to do it there except by deleting 1 residue at a time.
I've also looked at writing an O macro, but wild cards don't work - and
there's no symbol for last picked chain. Ideas gratefully accepted.

Thanks

AGS
