Bob, This was a useful message. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

I read the forum postings. Their initialization scheme must be different ... they must be using a separate thread to do some of their startup. If so, then I don't think it is directly applicable to Jmol. I see that Bob got a crash log entry with MarvinSketch. Certainly if someone gets crash log data with Jmol I would like to take a look at it. I have been thinking about trying to come up with some scheme to prevent other JavaScript calls to the applet before it is loaded. Nothing firm so far.
