Hi David,
	We will be discussing this at an upcoming Chimera meeting.  There are 
several possible ways to implement what you want, including a "show 
sequence" column in the model panel, a "sequences" panel under the 
Controllers menu, or a "sequences" rollover menu in the Controllers 
menu to get to particular models/chains.  We were hoping you could 
describe your workflow with respect to the sequence panel so we could 
get some idea what would work out and what won't (particularly in 
respect to whether you need sequences from multiple models displayed 
simultaneously -- or whether being able to flip between sequences 
quickly would be adequate).
