Thanks Axel,

I had 1.8.6 installed first. Then I installed 1.9.1. But somehow that
caused the problem - when I uninstalled 1.9.1 the loading of a molecule
worked fine in 1.8.6.
I'd prefer to use the new version though but just in case I run into
this problem again I'm inclined to leave it alone.

Daniel

upload?

i would be grateful, if i was able to tell you what you are doing wrong,
but how should i know?
it works for me. have a closer look at the VMD user's guide. many, many
people have learned to use VMD from it without running into the problem
that you are reporting. so there is hope you will be able to as well.
