Hi Edward,
although it does reply directly to your question, you can turn the logging
on with `log console` (or `log filename`) to keep record of what you do
with the user interface. The command associated with each action you
perform is then written in the Tk Console (or in the filename you
specified), even the opening of a pop-up windows.
`log off` to stop recording the commands.

In particular, to change the bond resolution in CPK representation you
should use:
`mol modstyle 0 0 CPK 1.000000 0.300000 12.000000 <yourBondRes>`

I hope it's useful.
Gianfranco
