Hi all,

I apologize if this is a newbie question. I was not able to find an answer
in my various searches.

I have six molecules loaded into VMD (v. 1.9). Three wild type and three
mutant structures, all colored differently (e.g. WT#1 is green, WT#2 is
red, etc). I would like to quickly show residue 200 (say) as ball and
stick and have that residue appear as ball and stick in all molecules,
colored in the same way as the rest of the molecule. I know how to do this
in Pymol, but I don't know how to do this is VMD. Any help would be great.
 What I am trying to avoid doing is laboriously going through each
molecule, adding a ball and stick representation, setting the atom
selection, setting the color, etc.

thanks!
