Yes, Jmol implements the callback functions that are present in Chime. MessageCallback, PickCallback, ButtonCallback, AnimFrameCallback (is there another one?) The callbacks are there and seem to work properly. However, several warnings: - they have not been heavily tested - the exact format of the messages returned by MessageCallback is probably *not* the same Basically, all this code is immature ... we need someone to work with it and use it in order to flush out problems. Finally, be advised that I think this callback scheme poorly designed. And it stresses LiveConnect and JavaScript because almost no other applet does this. Therefore, I fear it will continually be a source of problems. Therefore, I plan to supplement it with a more general event notification scheme. To do this I need people with application development experience to validate the design. For now you should use the Chime-compatible callbacks. If/when that goes well, and you feel like taking the next step, we can start discussing the other mechanism.
