Bob: I and a colleague, are playing with the comparison applet and the page with two JME applets on it. Consider 2-fluorobutane. If we put the R isomer in the right-hand screen (the correct answer), and correctly draw the R in the left, we get a "yes". If we draw the S in the left we get the "different compound" message. If, however, we draw the structure in the left-hand window with no stereochemistry defined, we also get the "yes" answer. Of course that is partially correct, but does not serve the purpose for teaching students how to draw the structure, or comparing structures. Same issue with 2-butanol. So....
