Ah, right. I see. I think Angel has it. The key is that web pages not gain
access to the file directory structure and name on the local drive. Of
course, a signed applet is different -- you can do anything. So loading the
file that way into Jmol sounds reasonable. What is going to be difficult is
getting REALLY big files across to the server if that is necessary. It might
take two navigations by the user -- one to load into Jmol using "load ?" and
one in some form field followed by HTML submit().
