Hi John,
Thanks for the information.
I've added into my .vmdrc by a similar suggestion
after idle {menu tkcon on}
It works now!
btw, I noticed that when tkconsole starts, it will load a history file
(containing history commands??).
I'm wondering where this history file is located.
Another question is about the {} used above.
During my own scripting in vmd, I also found that sometimes this {} is very
useful, such as mol selection {name "C.*"}.
I do not quite understand when and how to use it. I got the above usage of
{} just from the state file.
Is it needed by vmd or by the tcl/tk?
Please forgive me if I made some obvious mistake.
Thank you so much again for your kindly help!
Regards,
Jian Zou

Hi,
Try adding this to the end of your .vmdrc
after idle menu tkcon on
If you don't already have a .vmdrc file, copy it from
/usr/local/lib/vmd/.vmdrc area on a Unix machine, or from
"c:\program files\university of illinois\vmd\vmd.rc" on Windows.
