Summary: Range selection with insertion code broken

Initial Comment:
In version 11.6.x and also 11.7.13_dev the range selection is broken if the range border contains an insertion code. I don't know exactly when it started. But it still worked in 11.5.35.

Example: 1mir (http://www.fli-leibniz.de/cgi-bin/pdb_alignment.pl?CODE=1mir)
  "select 10^P-17^P" results in 0 selected atoms.
  "select 10^P-17^P:A" results in an error message:

script ERROR: invalid argument
----line 1 command 1:
         select { 10^P - 17 } ^ : >> A <<

Message:
I tried 11.6.5 and it still doesn't work as in 11.5.35 with example 1mir:

  "select 10^P-17^P" results in 0 selected atoms.

With spaces around "-" it works.

  "select 10^P-17^P:A" results in a slightly different error message than
before:

script ERROR: invalid argument
----line 1 command 1:
         select { 10^P } ^ : >> A <<

Message:
Fixed for Jmol 11.6.5 and 11.7.13
problem was the compiler miscompiling the negative number. Thus,

  select 10^P - 17^P

was OK, but not

  select 10^P-17^P


In addition,

  select 10^P-17^P:A

is a fine construct.

Message:
Rolf, I'd say that the second one will never work; you need  at least

select (10^P-17^P) and *:A
