Dear Angel, Hurray! I think your suggestion will solve my problem. I had not tried zoomto with an atom set and no zoom. Indeed, it slides to the new center, with no change in zoom.
If you enter the same command, e.g. zoomto 2 (atomno=1715) twice, the first time centers the atom, and the second time (after it is already centered) zooms two fold. However, this can be avoided with zoomto 2 (atomno=1715) *1 Thus I can avoid an unwanted zoom should the user inadvertantly center the same atom twice. So, in "set picking ident" mode, I can use the atom identification message to generate the zoomto command. Furthermore, I can then turn centering mode (in my javascript) off after one click. This solves everything.
