from the command line pass the -s (or --script) parameter

I have a script file called 'yellow.txt' that contains one line
  color atoms yellow

On unix, in the same directory as jmol, I type the following:

./jmol --script yellow.txt samples/xyz/caffeine.xyz

Make sure that your path is correct. If you just say 'intro4_3.spt' then
it should be in the current directory.

OS X glitch

I think that Ctrl-C works instead of Command-C ... It is Apple's Java bug.
