Thanks.  That solves the issue for Safari and newer jmol versions.   However, I 
still do not understand the problem in this sense: the release of 6/28 works 
fine without having to make the file restrictions change, but the 8/25 version 
does not. Same version of OS and Safari.  Has something changed in jmol in the 
intervening time that causes that, or is it something else?

In addition, I have moved copies of booth versions to my website.  In this 
case, accessing from home,6/28/test2 works, but I get a permissions error for 
8/25.   Still working to see what is different.


The links I am trying to access via the web are: 
        www.saintmarys.edu/~pbays/jmol0628/jsmol/test2.htm
        www.saintmarys.edu/~pbays/jmol0825/jsmol/test2.htm
