Phil, I still suggest the messageCallback, at least for now, despite the fact that Miguel thinks it's too complicated. I think I forgot to mention that I load a single-atom "dummy" file with the applet as it is written to the page. That, with a script parameter triggers the message "Script completed"
Here's my code that works (for me) for your page hacked at
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/temp/test.htm
isok1=false isok2=false
function checkload1(j,m){
if(isok1)return
if(m.indexOf("completed")>=0){
isok1=true
if(isok2)setTimeout("newProblem()",1)
}
}function checkload2(j,m){
if(isok2)return
if(m.indexOf("completed")>=0){
isok2=true
if(isok1)setTimeout("newProblem()",1)
}
}

I now have a couple of observations.
1. onLoad works a lot better than onload --- sorry about that.
2. But it does not completely resolve the problem.
Here is what I am trying to do.
a. I have the applet load from the HTML portion of the page, but I do not put a molecule into it.
b. I have the javascript now determine the molecule to load and stick it into the applet.
If I do not use the onLoad command, but use a button that the user has to punch to get started, things work in all browsers on both Mac and PC.

On the other hand, if I use the onLoad command, as in <body onLoad = "newProblem()"> I observe the following:
a. Works fine with safari
b. Works fine with Explorer on the PC
c. Stalls and ultimately crashes all of the Mozilla derived browsers with a request for an error report.

I am using scripts to write the structure to the applet window. I define the script and then do a document.jmol.script(script) format. This has worked for me in other situations. The javascript debug panel in firefox tells me that :
document.jMol.script is not a function
