[PyMOL] Getting information fron selected objects

[Phil P. L. <pp...@ma...>]

I am writing a Pymol plugin, in which I need to extract, manipulate, and
replace the coordinates of selected atoms.  Are there examples out there
I could use as a prototype?

For starters, what command(s) do I use to get the name strings of
residues that I've selected with mouse clicks.  I would like to assign
these to a variable.   

Then the same question applies to coordinates.  How do I assign the
values of atomic coordinates to a list variable in my plug_in script?
