Alan,

It seems to me the most sensible thing to do is use Miller plane 
notation "hkl" instead of "plane" for that WITHIN definition.

   display within(-999,hkl,{0,40,0})

as long as you can use crystallographic coordinates instead of 
Cartesian. Alternatively, you can define the plane using three 
fractional coordinates:

   display within(-999,plane,{0 1/40 0},{1 1/40 0},{1 1/40 1})

or something of that nature. As for getting the coordinates in JavaScript,

 var unitcell = 
jmolGetPropertyAsArray('auxiliaryinfo').models[0].notionalUnitcell

gets you an array containing a, b, c, alpha, beta, gamma in elements 0 
through 5.

 var a = unitcell[0]
 var b = unitcell[1]

etc. Note that there may be a different unit cell for each model loaded 
-- models[0], models[1], etc.
