Questions about RasMol Script Links on WWW

Hi All,

I have some problems with running things with
RasMol scripts in the hyperlinks...I think! If I am
connected to the PDB and ask to view the molecule, my
RasMol starts up and displays without any problem. If I
connect to either SWISS-PROT or SCOP and choose the
RasMol option in the links, my Mosaic displays the file
transfer menu for me instead of starting RasMol. I can
also build my own scripts and run RasMol online and that
works.

I am running RasMol on a VMS workstation and it
is set up as a foreign command (i.e., I can type RasMol
with arguments just as if I were on a UNIX system). Do
I need to make another entry in the list of file
extensions with something that says arguments are
possible? This is what I have now (in Mosaic htinit.c):

HTSetPresentation("chemical/x-pdb","rasmol
%s",1.0,3.0,0.0);

It is set to receive one argument string, I
think this is all you need.

The HTTP server has the suffix set to:

suffix .pdb chemical/x-pdb 8BIT 1.0

Could this be the problem?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this. And
thanks to Jane R. for recommending the Prediction of
Protein Structure and the Principles of Protein
Conformation, ed. by Gerald Fasman.
