Actually, Bob spotted it and encouraged me to invesigate.

Not to worry ... no harm done.

Rest assured that we are fully supportive of your efforts to integrate
Jmol into PFAAT.

Correct.

I suspect that there will be other application-specific dialogs that we
will want to activate from scripts, so we need to come up with a generic
mechanism that will allow us to do this.

Correct ... something like that

I created a branch for you when we last spoke in March. Sorry that I did
not make that clear.

I just created a new branch for you that is a snapshot of the current trunk:
