item #9 describes "dynamic element definition".

After you click the link to change one hydrogen to a boron, if you 
click "minimize" (in red below Jmol), the boron moves satisfyingly.

However, after you click the link to change the born back to 
hydrogen, clicking "minimize" does not restore the hydrogen to its 
original position (nor the changed bond angle).

Similarly, if, after loading caffeine.xyz, you first click the link 
that changes carbons to Cl and Fe, and H to B, and minimize, the ring 
expands satisfyingly to accomodate the larger atoms.

However, if, after loading caffeine.xyz, you first click the link 
that changes C to Cl and Fe, then you minimize, and then you change 
them back to C, then minimize again, the ring does not shrink.

It seems that the first time you minimize, it works, but the second, 
it does not.
