Usage:
savepos list

Unless changed with savepos, the default position is one in which the models have not been rotated or translated.

Saved positions are included in saved Chimera sessions, and a position named session-start is created automatically when a session is restored. To decrease the size of session files, positions can be “forgotten” using ~savepos view_name.

The list keyword indicates that the names of all saved positions should be listed in the status line and Reply Log.
