I noticed that issuing a "show orientation" command (issued using a button) while a prolonged applet script is executing causes the script to stop dead in its tracks... or rather in its "stacks" :-) according to the console:
ScriptException:RasMol virtual machine error - stack underflow


As a non-programmer, I do not really understand this message beyond the fact that it is an error message, but the fact that the movie stopped made me wonder whether it would be possible to pause a Jmol script using a button. A pause button would be a useful thing, allowing students more control over the pacing of scripted movies. Of course, the pause is only good if one can resume, and so I am wondering if a "pause/resume on demand" scenario would be within reach, using Jmol. (There are ways to work around this sort of thing indirectly, but I'm just wondering.)
