Hi,
  I thought I'd add a few comments regarding the use of VMD in the CAVE:

At the moment, only the first cave button has any function in
VMD. I'm planning to add support for additional buttons and wand
functions in the next few months, so that users have more flexibility
and control without having to resort to walking over to a console or
bringing a laptop into their CAVE. If all goes well, I hope to implement
these in such a way that they can trigger "hot keys" much like
key presses in the graphics window of VMD.

Thanks,
