the jmolGetPropertyAsString("filename") function actually can return the
absolute path of the local file in safari and ff3. It doesn't really help in
the context of "reading and sending file" in this case.

Bob, these do not work for me, it throws up the filenotfound exception b/c it
appends the server url in front of my local files
