Jalview Launch Files - JVL

Files with a '.jvl' (or .JVL) extension can be opened by the Jalview desktop application, and allow you to:

Some example JVL files are given below - copy and paste them into a text editor and save them as a file with the extension '.jvl'. To test, open your saved .jvl file via the OSX File Chooser or Windows file explorer, or pass it to Jalview via the command line
