scriptWait() should do precisely what you are interested in doing. I
think you just haven't found the right way to wait on that thread.
BUT there are a few eval commands that start animation threads, and
these threads may not wait. For them you have to add something like
delay 5 #wait 5 seconds
to allow for the animation to complete
I just did this:
jmolScriptWait("load 1crn.pdb;isosurface solvent")
which takes several seconds to render the solvent-excluded surface for
1crn, and it waited. (That was from an applet, but there's no
difference for an application, I think.)
