Summary: Cannot load MEP data from .cube file with last version

Initial Comment:
Example:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12683952/jmol/L-proline_7_-0.570000.cube

Open this file with the last version of jmol (13.0.10, i saw that there is a 
13.0.12 but don't see fix in change log), and in console type:

$ isosurface ID "isosurface1" vanderWaals 100% color "bgyor" range all mep

error message:

script ERROR: No partial charges were read from the file; Jmol needs these to 
render the MEP data.

i don't have problem with my previous version of jmol (version 10).

OK, I know what is going on. Sorry to inform you, but 12.2 was not doing
what you thought it was. 

The command

isosurface ID "isosurface1" vanderWaals 100% color "bgyor" range all map
mep

ignores all the cube data in the file (the command is not even trying to
read the cube data, because the command does not specify that) and just
uses the nuclear charges of the atoms for the "charges." 

Somewhere along the way I realized that was inappropriate and removed that
option. 

On the other hand, 

isosurface ID "isosurface1" vanderWaals 100% color "bgyor" range all map
""

gives a VDW surface with SOME coloration, but the data are extremely
strange. With 13.1 I can use

load http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12683952/jmol/L-proline_7_-0.570000.cube
set drawhover
isosurface color density ""

and then check the points, and they are just ridiculous. Huge huge positive
and negative numbers in very strange locations. Something is very wrong
with that CUBE file. What else do you have that can display it?

a correction: the jmol version which i tested and works ok with this file
is 12.2.2

Message:
I don't know how it is supposed to look a cube file with charge data
because don't know the format file specs, but considering that the file was
generated by obprobe, which in fact its purpose is to generate charge data,
i don't know what to answer to you when you say that the file does not have
charge data. Also, considering that jmol 10 can read that data and show the
electrostatic potential map over the given isosurface :)

may be some different format versions?

More details:

The file was generated with obprobe over the .mol file

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12683952/jmol/L-proline.mol

using the command

obprobe 7 -0.57 L-proline.mol

which generates a cube file with charge data that i was able to read in
jmol version 10

Message:
That's quite curious, because Jmol to my knowledge has never automatically
read any cube data as MEP data. "version 10" covers a lot of territory,
though, so I suppose it's possible. MEP data requires charges, and this
file has no charge data. I can map it to VDW, but not using MEP, just using
"", and it is not very clear that is showing me an electron potential. The
numbers are huge, even quite far from the molecule -- 64.56, 1991.7. What
could this be?
