hi David, there was some talk a while ago, before v10 release, about altering the Jmol scripting language to make it more powerful. loops, conditionals, etc. I believe the consensus was to make Jmol as compatible as possible with Rasmol/Chime first, and then possibly build a new scripting framework from scratch. or maybe build hooks into something like python. in any case, I agree that this is a good idea, as long as it does not interfere with R/C compatibility at this point. regards, tim -- Timothy Driscoll molvisions - see, grasp, learn. <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:raleigh "The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it's stranger than we can imagine." - J.B.S.
