== Overview ==
This script returns the names of all objects (in state 1) that are within a certain cutoff distance from your provided target. For example, if you load an MD trajectory and are watching the binding pocket, you can select the ligand and then find out which loaded files are within 5 Ang, say, of that ligand atom.
