\vbox{\head{Modes}
Pymol supports two modes of input: point and click mode, and command line mode.  The point and click allows you to quickly rotate the molecule(s) zoom in and out and change the clipping planes. The command line mode where commands are entered into the external GUI window supports all of the commands in the point and click mode, but is more flexible and possibly useful for complex selection and command issuing. Commands entered on the command line are executed when you press the return key.\par
