Have you looked at
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/14985.html
<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/mailing_list/vmd-l/14985.html>and the
"mol repname"
"mol repindex"
commands?
But I agree that it would be nice if one could name (with a label)
selections in the graphical representations window.

Best regards,
Ajasja
