Summary: progress bar required

Initial Comment:
Please explain the justification for making the
progress bar not just a default but a required aspect
of the coding that "breaks" the installation if not
present. Surely this is going to annoy any
user-developer who has based their pages on earlier
versions of Jmol only to find now that they have to go
back in and change every single page if they are to use
the upgraded applet. This just seems to me to be poor
developer relations. I know Miguel said it would be
required; but now that I've seen it in action, I have
to say that the "big yellow screen" upon rotation is
highly unexpected and rather offensive. 

I guess somehow I read "required" as "default" so now I
am suggesting that instead of being required, it be
listed as "default TRUE" with just the option to turn
it off for whatever reason--or just not even allow that
option if you think it is that important. Furthermore,
the reality is that only the one line is required:

<param name="progressbar"   value="true" />

but that is not being related to the user yet.

My suggestion: Just turn it on by default. Don't
require any extra param lines.

Thanks,

Bob Hanson
