Thanks Robert Campbell,
I've actually used the build_seq_phi_psi.py script before, and it is =
WONDERFUL!   I can (and probably will) use it in this case also.   I was =
just checking to see if there wasn't an easier way to do this within =
PyMOL...   Something that would take a selection of a pdb structure and =
generally 'loosen' or 'relax' it.   (I know it sounds vague.)

Thanks again!
