thanks, this is just what I need. Again, this prerelease should be seen as experimental -- there are bound to be problems; I need all the help I can get testing it, like what Rolf did here. Angel, can you check it out with your site? I realize the definitions aren't there, so you would have to tack on a script command to re-read the definitions.
Rolf, so you mean define ~mydef whatever Those don't get saved as part of the state. Of course.... that's important. Should be able to do that. Color inheritance -- that's the kind of thing I thought might break. I know what to check now. Two things I'm realizing: 1) This is useful for more than just a way of saving and restoring the current state. It's been very helpful for me just to see what Jmol is doing. And the list itself actually can be very informative for all sorts of other purposes. 2) Note the difference between what this is an a "history". The idea here is to actually define the current state without regard to how it was arrived at. It's an interesting challenge. If I can get this to work, it will really help define what Jmol does.
