Re: [Jmol-users] Need help passing a state script form one

[Jonathan G. <gu...@uw...>]

Otis,
	Thanks for the example.  However, I'm mystified as to the difference  
between using a message call back to get the state string and my use  
of jmolGetPropertyAsString...They should give the same result.  Have  
you ever used your method with an inline set of data?  My method works  
fine if that part of the script is deleted.

	I'm pretty convinced the issue is CR/LF stuff.  The inline data  
parser uses line breaks to differentiate the different pieces of  
data.  The rest of the script parser separates statements with a semi- 
colon.  I am also still checking some things that might relate to "  
marks, but don't think this is a problem as " marks work in the rest  
of the transferred script.
