Dear Jmol users:

I would like your opinion about a new entry in the Jmol application 
top menubar.

I have added  **Available in the next 12.1.x release**
   File > Reload
that, right now, calls the command
   load ""
(that is, reloads the current model) 

Bob has mentioned that it could do something slightly different:
re-invoke the full load command (unit cell, etc.) that was last 
given. 

I don't now about crystals, but for example, when you load pdb files 
some rendering style is applied (cartoons for proteins, ball&stick 
for ligands, etc.)

So do you think you would prefer option #1, which just resets the 
model (reload, so all ball&stick), or option #2, which would be more 
similar to what load does?

I can mention that, in my experience, loading a pdb file by drag & 
drop, by File>Open, by console or directly from the PDB lead to 
different deafult renderings. I don't know the exact details, Bob 
does. So there is not a single reference as to what a reload means.

Note that the popup menu has had this File>Reload for some time now, 
and it does just load "" AFAICS, so I think we need consistency 
between both menus.
On the other hand, the full-featured reload is already available from 
File>Recent files
