A dialog will appear in which you can choose the location on your computer's disk to save the file. Take note of the name of the file and where you are putting it. This file contains a ''state script'' of JSmol commands that will produce your scene. | ||
4. '''Comment out the load command.''' Edit the state script file with a [[Help:Plain text editors|plain text editor]]. Before you use the state script, you must insert '''#''' before the word "load" in the command at the end of the 3rd block of commands, and then save the file with that change. This disables the command -- disabling it is crucial. It should look something like this: | 4. '''Comment out the load command.'''
