David,
If all you wish to do is show the non-bonding valence electrons in
simple molecules such as ammonia and water, and you don't care about
precise bond angles, simply modify the hydrogens of methane in a
suitable manner,. An example is:

Developers,
I am currently working on a project for NCSA where we are trying to
teach high school chemistry teachers of rural areas on using
technology to their advantage in the classrooms. I was wondering if
Jmol had the capabilities to show the electron lone pairs in certain
molecules in accordance to the VESPR theory. I know of the lcaoCartoon
method but I was hoping for something that would either show the lone
pair(the two dots) or the tear-shaped structure since this is the way
that it is taught in the high school textbooks. Thanks in advance for
the help.
