Hi all,

one the list of features requests has been for some time RFE #737576: "a us=
er customizable Macro menu". I've just implemented this.

Just put a file like zap.macro into $HOME/.jmol/macros, and it will show up=
 in the application GUI:

$HOME/.jmol/macros/zap.macro
=2D ------------ file starts below this line ---------------------------
Title=3DZap
Script=3Dzap
=2D ------------ file ends below this line ----------------------------

A bit more complex example (ripped from  http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/ras=
cript.exe?CODE=3D2fdn&TYPE=3DJmol):

$HOME/.jmol/macros/2fdn.macro
=2D ------------ file starts below this line ---------------------------
Title=3DDownload 2FDN from IMB Jena and show in nice colors
Script=3Dload pdb http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/rascript.exe?CODE=3D2fdn&T=

select (a,t,g,c,u,i) and *:a and backbone; \
color trace SeaGreen; \
select (a,t,g,c,u,i) and *:b and backbone; \
color trace Magenta; \
select (a,t,g,c,u,i) and *:c and backbone; \
color trace GreenBlue; \
select (a,t,g,c,u,i) and *:d and backbone; \
color trace HotPink;
=2D ------------ file ends below this line ----------------------------

So, the macro file format is simple:
=2D - a Title=3D field and a Script=3D field
=2D - field values can be continued on the next line by ending the previous=
 with \
=2D - mind that the script file name has to end with '.macro'

Have fun!
