I've part way figured it out, thanks to the "Comparing Two Structures"
section of the VMD User's Guide:

http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/vmd-1.8.7/ug/node20.html#820

However the documentation isn't totally clear: I couldn't find an
"Object Mode" pull-down, and there is no "Atom" option directly under
the "Mouse" menu, but trial and error has allowed some progress.

The two problems I now have:

1. How do I get my bond distance to be based on the smoothing window
coordinates rather than the "raw" per-frame coordinates?

2. How do I delete incorrect bond selections, and accidental labels?

Thanks,

Ian
