Having more detailed descriptions in the headers seems to be a good 
idea. But the current descriptions might not be clear enough:

Option 1)
- "no mouse binding" sounds rather technical

Option 2)
- "Selecting atoms:" appears twice
- "Changing Coordinates:" reappears as "Moving atoms:"
- "the mouse is over the structure" sounds rather fuzzy

Option 3)
- "Selecting atoms:" appears twice
- "(or group...based on set picking option)" shouldn't be in there 
because option 3 has a fixed 'set picking atom' setting. Other settings 
would mean another option.

I don't like that not all important information is within the table any 
more. Now there are mentioned somewhere in the text above the table some 
of the settings belonging to an option. And others are in the header. 
Since each of these settings influences the behaviour it is really 
important that the user makes sure they are all set correctly.
Besides it is also more comfortable if they are all in the header 
because one can just copy/paste an option set into the Jmol script 
console. And the setting "set picking IDENTIFY" doesn't occur in any of 
the options, so it will be rather confusing to mention it.

One reason for putting crosslinks to the scripting documentation also 
into the table was similar to the argument above: making the table a 
rather independent information unit. Another one was that the links also 
nicely separate the name of the switch from it's value. And a third one 
was that it is more convenient to have the links not in just one place.

Rolf
