+        inserted whitespaces after commas in lists, 
+        removed whitespaces at the ends of lines).
+    Added version number.

+    DESCRIPTION
+
+    Adds the command "roundview" that gets a view (default is 0,
+    the current view; you can get a stored view assigned to some
+    other digit with the view command) and rounds to two decimal
+    places (two digits to the right of the decimal point) the
+    viewpoint matrix elements and rewrites the matrix elements
+    on a single line with no whitespaces and a semicolon at the
+    end. The saved space eases the making of a single line of
+    PyMOL commands separated by semicolons. This enables rapid
+    and interactive editing of chunks of PyMOL commands. The
+    viewpoints are appended to the bottom of a text file in the
+    present working directory called "roundedview.txt". The line
+    could be easier to copy from this file than from the command
+    history window in the external gui. A semicolon with nothing
+    to the right of it at the end of a line of grouped commands
+    is harmless.
+
+
+    USAGE
+     
+    roundview [view, decimal_places, outname] 
+
+    Note that the values in the [] are optional.
+
+    The default values  for the arguments of the function
+    are "0,2, roundedview.txt". 
+
+    Simple one-line example with roundview.py script in current working
+    directory--check by typing 'pwd' and 'ls *.py' on the command line. PyMOL
+    should return 'roundview.py' in the lisf of files in the external (top) gui.
+    Next, paste the following command on the external (top) commandline, hit
+    return, and wait 5-10 seconds:
+
+    fetch 1lw9, async=0; run roundview.py; roundview 0,1
+
+
+    The following view setting will be returned without the blackslash.
+
+    set_view (1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,0.0,-155.2,35.1,11.5,9.7,122.3,188.0,-20.0);
+
+    Advanced option:
+
+    Copy roundview.py to the folder ~/.pymol/startup and then
+    the command will always be accessible. You may have to 
+    create these directories. 
+
+
+    18 elements of the view matrix (0-17)
+
+    0 - 8 = column-major 3x3 matrix that rotates the model axes
+    to camera axes 
+
+    9 - 11 = origin of rotation relative to the camera
+    in camera space
+
+    12 - 14 = origin of rotation in model space
+
+    15 = front plane distance from the camera
+
+    16 = rear plane distance from the camera
+
+    17 = orthoscopic flag 
+    (not implemented in older versions)
