Rick, I have been quite busy and have not had a chance to look into this yet. Nevertheless, I remain quite confident that I can give you a Java API which will allow your applet to send text scripts directly to Jmol for evaulation. Don't worry about my piece, just keep your student moving forward. Have your student keep working on other aspects of the project ... try to get everything else done. I recommend that you consider the following: Have your student build a DummyJmolApplet that accepts script text. The implementation would simply be a text window that displays the text of the last script that it was given. You could then build a web page that included your JcampApplet and the DummyJmolApplet. Events in your JcampApplet could/should trigger the display of the appropriate script text in the DummyJmolApplet. I estimate that this dummy JmolApplet can be built in less than 250 lines of code. Depending upon the development skills and experience of your programmer this might take two hours ... or might take two weeks. The only tricky part for your student is going to be establishing communication between the two applets. Tell your student to assume one DummyJmolApplet per page and to use a static method and a static class member. (Extra credit for your student: try to use 'synchronized' in order to prevent race conditions). Meanwhile, I assure you that this is high on my list of things to do.
