There each command string that is issued with 'Jmol.script()' is surrounded by the following:
BEFORE: 'set echo waitmessage 0% 100%; echo "Please wait..."; refresh;\n' AFTER: '\n set echo waitmessage off;' If you would enter in the 'Script' input field of the 'Jena3D Viewer' interface for example "select all; isosurface solvent" then the command string sent to Jmol would actually look like this: set echo waitmessage 0% 100%; echo "Please wait..."; refresh;\nselect all; isosurface solvent\n set echo waitmessage off; The "Please wait..." message appears on my system while Jmol is calculating the isosurface.
