On the other hand, one could imagine the applet reading

     <meta http-equiv="refresh" 
content="3;URL=/subscribe/journals/chreay/suppinfo/cr030092l/Figure4/6+2-ene.xyz?sessid=3705">


no, nevermind.... I'm actually quite amazed the cookies get set at 
all. No, Henry just needs a source-based work-around. By the way, I 
did have to go through some contortions to figure out why a simple 
"xyz" file wasn't loading. Just loading the URL of course popped the 
XYZ file into my browser (which, ahem, was displayed by Chime). I had 
to create a link in a separate document and do a "save link target as" 
to my hard drive to see what was going on. I find it very interesting 
that the applet file load actually goes through the javascript/cookie 
processor and probably even does the redirect, but never looks for the 
new version.

Actually, if you want these structures, Henry, I think you just have 
to add

?sessid=nnnn

(where "nnnn" is some number) to your filenames. The number is 
irrelevant, but you must have some "session id" there to get the 
actual xyz file.

Ah! I can demonstrate this, can't I!!!! Yes,

http://fusion.stolaf.edu/chemistry/jmol/loaddata.htm

does in fact allow loading of

http://pubs.acs.org/subscribe/journals/chreay/suppinfo/cr030092l/Figure4/6+2-ene.xyz?sessid=3705

(sorry if that wraps)

Pick a session ID, any session ID. (I think.)

So, Henry, give this a go and let us try it.
