Good.

For now we are not going to do Properties.

All we are going to do is associate a String modelName with each model.

Yes, in Jmol they are exactly the same.

The term 'model' in RasMol/Chime comes from .pdb files ... that can
support multiple conformations of the same protein.

In chime you could not ... in Jmol you can.
