gerard has been teaching in our linux room and reports a v11 feature.  
the grab_build command has been overhauled to make the object  
generation less confusing (the sudden appearance of a BIT object,  
other mol objects that are not updated etc). my mods cause some  
confusion when grab_build is used in conjunction with centre_build.  
in this case, the BIT object's visibility is turned off so the poor  
student couldn't see the residue. to be fixed in 11.0.1

gerard also reports that flip-peptide does not work from grab_build.  
this is not true but since it might confuse other users, i'll mention  
what's going on. in grab_build the flip occurs between the current  
residue and the last one built. since gerard was using cen_build to  
move around, he never got a last built residue so nothing was flipped.

since i am polluting the internet, i should mention that the new  
fragment option in grab_build is how i've been flipping peptides in  
the last few structures. being able to access the fm_rsr_zone from  
grab_build has also been useful, provided there's nice density.

the space navigator is described on http://www.extremetech.com/ 
article2/0,1697,2072366,00.asp today, if you are interested. this is  
XP only at the moment.
