Hi Reza,

You can change the "atom" label to display indices the following way:

In the Main window, pull down the "Graphics" tab and choose "Labels..."
Click on the "Properties" tab, then change "Format" to be "%i".

If you turn on Tcl logging "File -> Log TCL commands to Console", then you
can learn all the text commands for this to streamline the process to all
your atoms of interest by some sort of list iteration or for loop. I'll
leave that to your own discretion, though.

Take care,
Sam
