Bob,
I've tried these exactly - with my own file name - then cut and paste
from the e-mail to be sure - but get the following responses:
$ write coord "filename.xyz"
script ERROR: ScriptException:quoted string expected
Script line:write coord "filename.xyz"
$ write XYZ "filename"
script ERROR: ScriptException:write what? STATE|HISTORY|IMAGE CLIPBOARD
or JPG|JPG64|PNG|PPM|SPT "filename"
Script line:write XYZ "filename"
$

It's a misprint/bug. You do have to specify the type of write you
want:
write coord "filename.xyz"
or, if the filename is not explicit:
write XYZ "filename"
I see now that there is a typo in the documentation or a bug in Jmol in
that "coord" not "coords" is necessary. I think I will consider this a
bug and add "coords" to Jmol's vocabulary.
