So did I. Unfortunately I have not had time to upgrade MolScript with
this and other improvements that many have requested. I wish I could
announce that the upgrade is imminent, but no such luck; I can't promise
anything.

If Robert Esnouf is willing to give you his modifications of MolScript,
then my advice is that you try to use them.

Sorry about this.
