I certainly was missing that documentation all together. To my mind, the offical documentation was rooted at http://jmol.sourceforge.net/ That did not particulary direct me to the documentation at stolaf.edu that I can recall. Perhaps it does and I missed it. There is another issue that I think confronts most new users and that is the relationship in Jmol between Java (and the java plugin provided by each browser publisher), Jmol Scripting (with it's historical relationship with Chime and Rasmol Scripting) and the Javascript interface. One can easily get confused when reading documentation and you don't have a grip on which context the documentation is written for. I have been spending most of my time in the javascript interface which I think is documented at the sourceforge site rather than the stolaf site but the javascript interface looses most of it's power if I don't understand what's on the otherside of it and available in the Jmol Scripting context. It seems like two seperate worlds with two pretty seperate sets of documentation, but to use the full power of Jmol I need to know both and I need to not be confused about what is a javascript interface method and what is a Jmol scripting function (if I even have that nomenclature correct). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
