We are currently running Rasmol v2.6 on our Suns and it will allow 
us to have different styles of rendering over different parts of 
the molecule at the same time using the "select" command. This will 
tell Rasmol to do the commands on only this portion of the molecule. 
As for previously setting up files to view, Rasmol does have a basic
scripting ability to allow you to run a series of Rasmol commands.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of any more assistance.
