Hello even once more!

I've written some tcl function that uses "vmd_pick_atom" to change the
representation of the picked atom. The following issues occured to me:

1. I didn't find a pure "pick mode" in the Mouse menu that would not also draw a
label or anything, but just picks an atom so I could use my function.

2. Probably one could add a "picked" keyword to the atom selection language.
Then one could for example create a representation that highlights a whole
residue by picking one of its atoms by

        same residue as picked

or even things like

        same resname as picked

etc.
