That's an unexpected side-effect! Okay - thanks for the advice.

It does work in the sense that it calls the specified javascript
function as soon as the structure is loaded into Jmol. The problem I had
was that Jmol still didn't seem to be ready to give an answer to the
following call at that point:
jmolGetPropertyAsArray("atomInfo", "all")
Sometimes it would work fine, but other times it would either return
null or an empty array. I think there was some pattern to it - the
larger and more complex the structure, the more often it failed,
presumably for obvious reasons. So the real question is what does Jmol
have to do before it can provide the 'atomInfo' property to the
javascript layer, and is this guaranteed to be completed before the
loadStructCallback function is called? Is there something else I need to
do or understand to make this work reliably?

Excellent - thanks.
