Setor-colouring secondary structure

[Flip Hoedemaeker]

Hi Steffen,

I've had your specific problem, and I don't think there's a simple
solution. What I've done is load the molecule a number of times (You can
load up to 8 chains) and then use residue editor to select different parts
in different chains. You can then color them independently. I don't know 
any better way, maybe you should ask Steve Evans, the author.

Hope this helps,
