Hi Greg Good to see you made progress with our answers.

We think mainly on the model rendering, the other features came later. And it has become one the strong and unique features of Jmol vs. other molecular viewers, I might say. Regarding the list of "programming" commands, you may not need to be an expert. If you can identify the single commands that belong in that category, we could start by making a list. I'd be happy to help. If you sign up in the wiki, we may start a draft page for that. On the good side, Bob has made most of the syntax for those to closely match the one in JavaScript and Java as far as possible, so it is not hard to learn.
