good point.

even quite experienced VMD users keep forgetting out this.

in my opinion this would be best placed in the File menu,
next to the save/load state items. there are three potential

I know that this can be done by some adjustment in graphics-representations muen. but my system is fairly large, I don't think i can change the it one by one. So does vmd recoginzed some tcl commands to control specific bond raduis so that the this can be done by a script?
