Someone more familiar with Macs help me out here....
You need a terminal window and a prompt. At the prompt, on a PC at
least, you type
> java -jar jmol.jar -h
That starts the program and assumes that the path to "java.exe" is
known to the system. If you can get that working, then you start
Jmol using
java -jar jmol.jar -g600x600
and you should be good to go.

In Jmol app on my MacBook Pro, each of these gives an error.
java -jar jmol.jar -h
usage: Jmol

when I type

into the command line of Jmol, I get "script compiler error: command

Same with
-g 500x500

--geometry 500x500
What am I missing?

Hi, can someone remind me of how to tell the Jmol app to open its
display window to a certain width and height? All I can find in the
archives is the following post, which seems no longer to have an
effect, and the scripting documentation is still unavailable (and
I'm not too hopeful it would be in there)...

I just checked in code to allow one to set the window size on the
Jmol
application command-line:
-g WIDTHxHEIGHT
or
--geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT
Where WIDTHxHEIGHT is the width and the height in pixels separated
by a
lower case 'x'
500x550 (the current default)
300x350 (something smaller)
800x850 (something larger)
These examples all have a larger height in order to account for
the space
of the button bar, menus, and status bar.
Note that I did not do any work in the area of saving the size as
a user
preference.
Miguel
Thanks,
Frieda
