Hi Robert,
Do you mean that I can pass a value from Jmol back to the server by having the
following?
jmolScript("load ...", 0)
But I am a bit confused. I though the load() function is used to load data from
a file into Jmol.
How should I pass a variable back to the server with it?
Thank you.
Yingjie
