right, if that is happening, then it is a bug. Say again exactly what 
can't be done. When I test, I can have load "" in a script as well as 
from the console.

Ah, this is a project I started WAY back in March or April -- the idea 
is to not just save the orientation (easy) but the actual "state" of the 
molecule. I made some progress on that front, but it has required 
substantial recoding throughout Jmol to make it more "state" aware. To 
date we don't have such a mechanism. The JavaScript to do this is:

jmolSaveOrientation("savename")
jmolSciptWait(.....)
jmolRestoreOrientationDelayed(0.0, "savename")

(I see there is a mistake in Jmol-11.js as I write this. The following 
should work:

jmolSaveOrientation("savename")
jmolSciptWait(.....)
jmolRestoreOrientation( "savename")

but it throws in a 1-second delay. Next iteration of Jmol-11.js will fix 
this.)

But I agree that a little save/restore in Jmol might be a nice idea as 
well. Very simple for orientation.
How about

save orientation "orientationID"
load ""
restore orientation "orientationID" nSeconds

Then in the future there might be some other types of "save" and 
"restore" options -- zoom, center, rendering, visibility, etc.

Side-chain hydrogen bonds:
---------------------------
I'm not presently working on this. One of the major issues there is 
sprouting the hydrogens and getting the hybridization right for both 
proteins and nonproteins. Also an issue is the rotational freedom around 
the C-O-H bond of alcohols and phenols. Is there a general solution to this?
