Bob,
I feel like cherry picking functionality to include would present
difficulties to users; e.g. "I thought JSmol could do x, but it can't!"
This is a wild idea, but could the entire command-running apparatus be
decoupled from display and mouse actions, with significant savings in code
size? I'm imagining something like a kiosk mode, without the machinery of
scripting behind it.
I understand this may not be possible; just wanted to throw it out there.
