What I meant by that was that Chime didn't have the wide-ranging
capability that Jmol has. So it's not as simple as sending "the  
user now moved the mouse HERE" to the other applets. You would need to address
issues such as:

Do moveto, zoomto, navigate, translate, etc. all get synched, or is it just the 
mouse? 

Is it the entire orientation that is being synched (zoom and all)?

Does spinning get synched? Does it get turned on automatically in other applets?

How does one recognize which applet is the controller applet, and which are 
followers?

What happens when a new file gets loaded in one of the applets?

User issues. I would want to know what people wanted before starting 
into this.
