Dear list members,

maybe its an easy question, but I can't find an answer in the user
guide...

I want to set the color of some atoms by a script. So I tried something
like:

 set sel [atomselect top "index 5"]
$sel set color 0.1
or
$sel set ColorID 0.1

But this doesn't work.
As a workaround I tried:

 $sel set beta 0.3

This works, but I have to klick on "Apply Changes" in the "Graphical
Representation" dialog to visualize it. What is the command for it?
("update" doesn't work)
