Yes.

We can put a user-setting in the Jmol application and a PARAM value to the
applet in order to control this.

Maintaining compatibility with existing RasMol/Chime scripts is
fundamentally important to Jmol. Otherwise, we would be using another
scripting language.

Agreed.

Jmol currently tries to mimic the RasMol behavior and will continue to try
to do so.

After spending so much time studying/worrying about this issue, I now
think that it is relatively easy to support both Y orientations/behaviors.

My tentative plan is to tie the Y axis orientation and the Y rotation
direction to the same switch/setting. When you are in this
'as-yet-unnamed' mode, then the Y axis points up and the Y rotation is
right-handed.


Thanks for your help.
