Re: [Jmol-users] a related "popup window" question....

[Thomas S. <tho...@gm...>]

I've confirmed the out-of-memory issue.  Adding "-Xm256M" into my Java
control panel (found this info on the Jmol wiki:
http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_Applet) seems to eliminate the
problem....

BTW, does anyone know how to achieve this for a browser running on linux?

Cheers,
Tom
