You could certainly do it :-) Take a look at some of the Jmol v8 scripts on: http://jmol.sf.net/scripting There is a little demo called 'Advanced Scripting' It has a text box where you can enter arbitrary commands. There may be a lot of stuff there, but do not get confused/distracted. Here are the important parts: [form name="area"] [textarea name="script" cols=40 rows=10][/textarea][br] [input type="reset" value="Clear Script"] [input type="button" value="Execute Script" onClick="document.jmol2.script(document.area.script.value)"] [/form] Also, take a look at Tim Driscoll's page: http://www.molvisions.com/community/jmol/jm_cmdline.html To look at Tim's page do a 'View -> Page Source' Don't be afraid to ask questions. > Thanks, > Chris > > *I have noted that I created the scripts using Miguel's work as a guide.
