Direct selections like b < 15 don't currently work (good idea; added
to the to-do list), but you could try a trick. With some external
script, set the segid (columns 73-76) for the atoms you want to select,
e.g. BMIN, then use "segid BMIN" as the atom selection. If you have
non-blank chainids, I hope this will work.
