Thanks Alexander (and Bob). What a neat trick!
Just for the record, my context was a Jmol variable, etv, that was set
in a JavaScript loop that used Jmol FIND to locate a SMILES in a
JavaScript array. A subsequent:
jmolScriptWait('var foo = etv;'); msg = jmolEvaluate("script('echo
@foo;echo;')");
alert(msg);
works beautifully. The second echo is just to make the first echo disappear.
