Ah, hah! Well, that's it then. When you pass a script in the applet tag, it
becomes a parameter of the object/applet tag. Those parameters do not
preserve line endings -- just like HTML. This was the original reason that
Miguel thought it would be difficult to build a model from a scripted model
file when I asked him about that in my first question to him. Wow, my first
interaction with Jmol!
So the proper way to do this is to make the script a callback that will
notify the page that the applet is now ready for loading, and then to send
that script using jmolScript().
Voila!

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
