Hello John,

Many thanks for your help. You are indeed correct, I tested it now and
everything seems to be working. My apologies.
Regarding your explanation, it makes sense and it is useful for me
nonetheless. However, do you know of anyway that I can use to display the
actual simulated structures in a web browser? For example via WebGL? So
essentially, have vmd running in my local machine, but being able to not
only send commands to it via browser, but also to view the actual structure
in the browser? (viewing the tabs and menu is not necessary).

Thank you again,
Manuel Mourato
