I would simply use BACKTRANSLATE to generate the most probable DNA
sequence (I believe that is option c). Then take this DNA sequence and use
the TRANSLATE command. Be sure to specify that the entire DNA is to be
translated and that the output file should be in 1-letter code. I don't
recall the commands to put in but you should be able to get them by using
gcghelp and asking for an example of translate.
I know this is klutzy but I tried it and it works.
There is probably a much more elegant solution.
