You could of course open the Java console to see the errors (right click
the coffee-cup in the task bar), but I agree that echoing errors to the
applet window (and perhaps warnings to the jmol console) would be useful.

Tracing error behaviour is not a big problem for the script writer. But
what about some-one else using the script for a structure file that the
script writer has not tested ? My personal opinion is that Jmol should try
to skip the problem command, write an error to the jmol window, but then
continue with the remaining script commands and display something even if
it is "wrong".

I had this problem recently with underscores and _eof in foreign CIF
files. Bob, efficient as ever, quickly corrected that. For these files my
script just hung and displayed a blank Jmol window, and a naive user would
have no clue as to where to look for the problem in his CIF file.
