That's true -- the getProperty method bypasses the script processor.
Try
x = jmolScriptWait('print getProperty("boundboxInfo")')
This returns a string rather than an array, but you should be able to
parse it easily, and also you can target exactly the info you want:
x = jmolScriptWait('print getProperty("boundboxInfo","center")')
-- btw -- you really should be using jmolScript, not applet.script --
some reason for doing that?
