I understand. ok, here is my two cents: moveto, zoomto, etc - any commands that are accessible only from command line - would not be included. those are fairly easy to synchronize using javascript. mouse events that affect orientation (RTZ and spin) would be included. when applets are synched, any applet on the page that is being addressed by the mouse would become the controller applet. loading a new file would not affect the synchronization state of the page. perhaps my interpretation is too narrow, but I was investigating a mouse synch feature only. (though I recognize that 'synch' is a broad term; maybe 'synch mouse'?) tim -- Timothy Driscoll em: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Virginia Bioinformatics Institute ph: 540-231-3007 Bioinformatics I: M-1 im: molvisions Washington St., Blacksburg, VA 24061 04-16-07.
