Could be a Mac thing. I drag/drop a file "test.spt" into http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-12/simple.htm and all is fine. (There is a file in that directory named test.pdb.)
cd $SCRIPT_PATH$ load test.pdb Then I use write test2.pdb and it offers to save the file in that directory. I'm sure the Java console would be helpful. It's either a memory issue (this specific PDB file) or a Mac issue (directories starting with "/"), I think. One of the issues with Mac/Linux is that the signed applet cannot tell from "/xxx/xxx/" if you mean a local file or a network file. I might get around that by making absolutely sure those paths have "file:/" or "http://"; prepended for the applet. $SCRIPT_PATH$ is probably not doing that. --Is this the signed applet or the application? --Try using write with an explicit path including "file:/" --Try that at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-12/simple.htm Aside: Does anyone know why "file:/" can have 1, 2, or 3 "/" and "http:/" can have one or two?
