I am trying to load .pdb files into VMD from a java
application as a user selects files from a table.

I can open VMD and load the first file but have to
open a new instance of VMD for each subsequent file
using the command

vmd fileName.pdb.

Using a Python script I can load subsequent files into
the same instance of VMD with the command

load('pdb', "fileName.pdb')

Unfortunately I have found it impossible to create a
thread with a timer in the Python script running from
VMD. The thread class can not be used.

There seems to be no way to have VMD run a Python
script periodically. Could you please tell me the best
way to resolve my problem?

Jennifer
