---------------------
1. Test was with the Valentine's Day Jmol app.

2. I was hoping that atoms rendered invisible by slab would not be selected with "select visible". But the invisible atoms are selected. *Can this be fixed?*

I wanted to make the slab-visible atoms opaque and the slab-invisible atoms translucent. (Is there another way to do this?)

3. I just "discovered" slab set and depth set, which make the *slab of visible atoms rotate together with the slab planes* (the slab planes rotate too!). This is FANTASTIC! I have wanted this for years, but didn't realize (or forgot, quite likely) it was implemented, and so easy to use! It will be so useful in explaining to novices what slab is doing.

4. When the above commands are entered one by one manually, the result is correct. When the above commands are pasted into the application console as a single script, the *slab 50 fails* to work. Only depth 50 works. This would seem to be a bug.
