The Jmol application can be run in "kiosk mode", useful for dedicated displays (e.g. in public places) where hiding the remaining of the computer screen, menus, windows etc. is desirable. The display will normally be driven by a prepared script, but the pop-up menu is still available by default.

While the focus is on the Jmol panel, typing <code>exitjmol</code> (which is not echoed to screen) and pressing the Enter key will exit the application.

		+	To customize the banner, this script may be used:

		+	whichÂ would set up the kiosk as a server over port 3456 and send a JSON message to itself.
		+	sync -3456 STOP
		+	would turn off that service.

		+	Other possible actions:
		+	sync -3456 '{"type":"banner","mode":"OFF"}'
		+	sets a kiosk with no banner.
		+	sync -3456 '{"type":"banner","mode":"ON"}'
		+	displays the banner (default).
