It seems that, though there would be a way to go across frames, it is not recommended doing it. I had the same problem Craig had to re-use a preexisting project working with chime. I am a teacher of molecular genetics, and have only a very limited background and ability to write javascripts, so I suppose this is the real problem.
However i will investigate and try the "frameless" pages. Should that not be the optimal solution for the conversion of my old project, I will still try going across frames following the instructions you have kindly provided.
And if nothing works, then you will hear again from me......
Many thanks again

Adriano,
Bob is correct that you need to prepend each call with a "parent." reference, or with a more direct reference to the frame in which the Applet was created (frames can be id'd by name or number).
If you are trying to use Jmol.js, you'll run into problems because it is not written to call across frames. In other words, even though you might get the Jmol.js function called correctly by pre-pending "parent.", when the Jmol.js function calls the Applet, it will still be calling from the wrong frame.
I ran into this problem converting a CHIME project that I had. Since everything that I read says we should not use frames anymore, I used this as a prompt to drop the frames altogether. In order to achieve the same type of positioning I could achieve with frames, I had to learn to use positioning with <DIV> and/or <SPAN> tags. Google to your favorite JavaScript site to learn more.
You can see my "frame-less" implementation at:

Hi all, I can't manage to use links in one frame to execute scripts by the applet in the other frame, same window. Is it possible at all, and, in case, how?
Many thanks

this is no problem. I do this all the time. See, for example,
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/inline/
It would help if you provide a reference to a page you find doesn't work.
You need a "name" parameter in the frame tag:
<frame name=FrameMolecule ....>
then in JavaScript you can say:
parent.FrameMolecule.document.open() parent.FrameMolecule.document.write()
etc.
If that is what you are doing already, send the URL to the page.
