Dear all,

is there a way to pipe commands into Jmol?
For instance, PyMOL has a "-p" command line option which allows this. I 
use this feature in Open3DQSAR/Open3DALIGN to visualize molecules and 
update the PyMOL viewport while the program is running: thus, PyMOL acts 
as the graphical front-end of my command line tool, somehow, and the 
program keeps piping commands until it quits.
Jmol has the "-s -" option, but commands entered on stdin are not 
executed until EOF is met (i.e., until you press CTRL+D).

Is there a way to make Jmol execute commands after each newline, while 
keeping listening on stdin, and quitting when EOF is met, as does PyMOL 
with the "-p" option? I would very much like to implement Jmol as an 
alternative front-end for Open3DQSAR/Open3DALIGN, and this feature would 
enable me to do that very smoothly.

Thanks, best regards
Paolo
