...which means that my understanding of the situation is probably naive!  

if  I write a Chime move command that includes a -Y value, 

   move 0 0 0 0 0 -50 0 0 2.0

that moves the molecule up.  I have always attributed this to the axes
orientation.

if I send the same move command to Jmol 10b

   move 0 0 0 0 0 -50 0 0 2

it also moves the molecule up.  I assume this is because Jmol is mimicking
the Chime axis system.  if the Y axis is 'flipped' in Jmol, the same move
command would now move the molecule down (which seems more logical to me).
is this true?

have I strayed far afield here?  or is this completely unrelated?  :-)



regards,
