save writes selected atoms to a file.

The file format is autodetected if the extension is ".pdb", ".pse", ".mol", ".mmod", or ".pkl".
If the file extension ends in ".pse" (PyMOL Session), the complete PyMOL state is always saved to the file (the selection and state parameters are thus ignored).
CLUSTALW formatted alignments can be written by PyMOL as well. Once you perform an alignment like the following,

 align proteinA, proteinB, object=A_on_B

the alignment can be written using:

save A_aligned_with_B.aln, A_on_B

save file [,(selection) [,state [,format]] ]

cmd.save(file, selection, state, format)

When saving a session file, then "state" has no effect.
When state = 0, all states in the file are written. If you have more than one state, this produces a multi-state PDB file.

 ===NOTES===
 * When saving a session file, then "state" has no effect.
-* When state = 0 (default), only the current state is written.
+* When state = 0, all states in the file are written. If you have more than one state, this produces a multi-state PDB file.
-* When state = -1, then a multi-state output file is written (PDB only).
-* In versions 1.XX, a multi-state output file is written when state = 0 (which is not default)
