Yes, certainly, guilty as sin :)

Thanks,

Hi Eugene,

would you update the documentation?
A canonical 'man superpose' produces

 superpose foo_1st.pdb [-s CID1] foo_2nd.pdb [-s CID2] [ foo_out.pdb ]

where [-s CID1/2] are optional selection strings in [1]MMDB convention,
and [foo_out.pdb] is an optional output file.

i.e. the syntax Lijun Liu used.

Cheers,
Tim
