[Molvis-list] depicting lone pair electrons in rasmol or chime

[will mcclure]

We use one such Chime display for water in a biochem course:
<http://www.bio.cmu.edu/courses/03231/LecF04/Lec02/water.html>
Click on the "single molecule" button.
The lone pairs are "fake atoms" in the coordinate file; they can be 
selected as "LP" under Atom in the Chime menu.
