one of my early requests was that Jmol *not* throw a compile error when it reads an invalid script command (set zoom center is Chime but not Jmol). it would be much more friendly if Jmol logged the offending command and continued with the rest of the script. as I recall, Miguel convinced me that there were good programming reasons not to do this. in the past, I have set up various kinds of filters to catch and comment such commands. most of the time, it has been fairly straightforward, because the commands were all coming through javascript. since your source is an external file, though, it may be more tricky to implement. but I can envision a simple server-side filter, perhaps using perl or php, if you have access to the server. how difficult would it be to add a scripting buffer to Jmol itself? that would allow Jmol to strip out or comment invalid commands, without user intervention. regards, tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
