OK! Here we go. I have completed a full rewrite of spin/rotate/center.

I still have a day of testing to do on it, but it's very clean.

The old "spin x, spin y, spin z, spin on/off" is still there, but
I consider it deprecated. FAR better is a full complement of
INTERNAL and FIXED frame rotations and spinning involving
x, y, z, -x, -y, -z, arbitrary axisangle [x y z], designation
of (atom sets) [x y z] coordinates, and [line1] draw objects
for both fixed and internal spinning and rotating, and designation
of two coordinates or two atom sets or an atom set and a coordinate
for internal coordinate spinning. Test page will be at
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/hansonr/jmol/test/json/spin.htm
momentarily.

    *
    * spin and rotate are now consolidated here.
    * The old "spin x, spin y, spin z" is still there, but
    * pretty much deprecated because it is not that useful.
    * spin on and spin off still work as well -- and are important
    *
    * far simpler is
    *
    *  spin x 10
    *  spin y 10
* * these are pure x or y spins or * * spin axisangle [1 1 0] 10 * * this is the same as the old "spin x 10; spin y 10" -- or is it?
    *  anyway, it's better!
* * note that there are many defaults * * spin
    *  spin 10
    *  spin x
* * and several new options * * spin -x
    *  spin axisangle [1 1 0] 10
    *  spin 10 (atomno=1)(atomno=2)
    *  spin 20 [0 0 0] [1 1 1]
* * The INTERNAL keyword indicates that spins or rotations are to be
    *  carried out in the internal molecular coordinate frame, not the
    *  fixed room frame.
