Jonathan, I really don't think it has to do with anything like that. Too
subtle. The real question is this: What's so special about the console? We
use the class loader all OVER the place -- if it were just that, we wouldn't
be able to open PDB files, wouldn't do minimization, wouldn't have symmetry
-- etc., etc.

So something is special about the console. But what?

Going back to the original issue, you wrote:

---------------------------
AppletConsole initialized
Interface.java Error creating instance for org.jmol.applet.AppletConsole:
null
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The line above has me confused, as I don't think anything is
being created yet^^^^^^^^
entering case 80 of viewer.getProperty
^^^^ After this message the java console stops.

Sending a second using jmolScript ("console") starts the java console with a
duplicate of the

entering case 80 of viewer.getProperty

Then continues normally creating the console.

What do you make of that.  Do we have a problem with the java object engine
(or what ever it is called)?
---------------------------

So let's say we can't get the console to start initially. What is different
about the second call to getProperty? Can you track that down?
