I agree. There is a slightly roundabout, but OK way of doing this
in seaview. You have to invoke the "sites" selection and then
save the selected sites. Not as simple as trimming the ends, but
more general (you can also cut out nonconserved insertions
within the alignment).
Process:
1) Sites menu:create set. Give it a name if desired.
2) click and drag in the bottom line that appears (white
dashes to start.) Wherever you click or drag though
the dashes turn to X's. These are your sites.
3) File menu:Save Current Sites
that's it.
