You're fine. It isn't a callback *from Jmol*. Your use is from a browser
event. That's just standard procedure. And the use is very different --
evaluateVar() doesn't generally execute commands (unless the script()
function is called).
Be aware that if another script is running, Jmol.scriptWait() has to ignore
that and just but right in. That's the real issue.
If you are ignoring the return, use Jmol.script(), not Jmol.scriptWait().
