Dear VMD developers,

Is it possible to change the VMD code such as to allow negative numbers
in selection strings using the keyword 'resid' ?
In many PDB files, residues that were added at the N-terminus of a
protein for the purification are labeled with negative resids. Currently
VMD does not allow negative 'resids' in selection strings. However the
command "[ atomselect $molid "$string" ] get resid" outputs a list which
contains the negative 'resids'. This creates a bit of confusion in
scripts that process pdb files with negative 'resids'

Best wishes
Vlad
