These are sound suggestions, but different things (2) to what we were talking 
about (1):

1) a message BEFORE the user clicks, advising this click is not trivial, it 
will involve a 
delay. I'll try to make it soft. Right now, "The applet may take some seconds 
to load".
2) a message AFTER the user clicks and BEFORE  the applet comes. This is nice, 
but I 
don't know how to do it; it would have to appear upon click (easy) and 
disappear upon 
applet finished loading (how?). Maybe the new script queue control can do 
something, but 
I'm not confident; javascript runs ahead of java usually. Anyway, one sees that 
the applet 
is loading -at least part of the time--.

3) mentioning that the applet gets cached: I forgot to include this, there are 
some nice 
phrases somewhere, but I'm not sure it is neccesary, since the page won't be 
used more 
than once, likely.

As soon as I finished some retouching, I am going ahead with updating pages in 
the 
website for Jmol11beta.

Nico, your proposal for not updated localizations looks good to me.
