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. To decrease the size of session files, positions can be "forgotten" using ~savepos view_name. When a session is saved, the current position is automatically saved with the view_name session-start.

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