Thanks Bernhard,
Placing a .coot.py file in my \WinCoot installation directory did the trick. A minor concern is that this file now will be used by anyone logging on to the Windows PC running wincoot. But I suppose I could always set COOT_HOME = %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
I did manage to get coot loading a pdb file as a C-alpha trace by placing the statement
graphics_to_ca_representation(0)
in the .coot.py file where. I suppose 0 is the number of the molecule. So my question is can this be made permanent so that when I load another pdb file in the same coot session it will also only be displayed as a C-alpha trace?
Regards,
Rob
