Just isn't going to happen with the error handling the way it is in Jmol. Once an error is detected, it completely breaks from the evaluation process. It would take some major rewrites (that I'm hesitant to even think about) to be able to continue. > > I had this problem recently with underscores and _eof in foreign CIF > files.

Specifically in the case of a file read error, where the applet goes blank, I could imagine a message to the screen -- something now enabled for ZAP. Maybe an option that allows for a box to pop up that requires "OK" to be pressed? Should I experiment with that?
