Thanks, Bob,
OK, part of my problem is probably asynchrony.
In Javascript, I am doing
jmolScript('altlocpivot = {altloc!=""}.altloc.all.pivot;' +
'altlocpivotkeys = altlocpivot.keys;');
then
altLocKeys = Jmol.evaluateVar(jmolApplet0, "altlocpivotkeys");
alert(altLocKeys.length +" "+typeof(altLocKeys)+"\n"+altLocKeys);
The first time I load the browser, the alert reports a zero length string.
But if I click the alert again, I get the length 3 array.
Is there some way, from Javascript, to force the Jmol variables to be
defined before the Jmol.evaluateVar() takes place?

I have not been able to figure out how to get an array from Jmol
applet into a Javascript array. For example, in the Jmol applet, I
create a Jmol array:
(Jmol applet contains 1bsz)
(Jmol applet output in red)
altlocpivot = {altloc!=""}.altloc.all.pivot;
altlocpivotkeys = altlocpivot.keys;
print altlocpivotkeys.type
array
print altlocpivotkeys
A
B
C
Now I want to get altlocpivotkeys into Javascript as an array.
Perhaps something like
x = getPropertyAsArray(jmolApplet0, "variableInfo altlocpivotkeys")
(But Jmol says "getProperty ERROR". I think that I haven't been
able to guess the syntax to specify the variable name. There is no
example in the documentation.)
With success, I am expecting the result in Javascript to be the
equivalent of
x = ["A", "B", "C"];
so that
x.length is 3
x[1] is "B"
Any help welcome.
Thanks, Eric
