Thanks for the correction, very helpful. Would be great to include in the documentation.

Except I don't quite think that does what you say. You mean

set dotSurface on/off

set dotSurface ON  # (the default)

creates for the selected atoms only that part of the overall molecular
"dot surface" that is associated with that atom.

set dotSurface OFF

creates full, possibly overlapping, spheres of dots around each selected
atom.

What

set dotsSelectedOnly ON

does is to tell Jmol to ignore all atoms not selected when any future
"dots on" command is given. This allows, for example, dots to fully
encase a ligand even though it is in contact with a protein. Otherwise,
with (the default)

set dotsSelectedOnly OFF

Jmol creates for each selected atom only the dots that would be
attributed to that atom on the overall molecular "dot surface."

The setting of dotsSelectedOnly ON or OFF only has an effect when
dotSurface is set ON.

Information on 'set dotsSelectedOnly' is missing form the
documentation, except for a brief statement under the command
'calculate'.

Under 'dots', it could say something like,

set dotsSelectedOnly on
creates dots on subsets of bonded atoms, so that each atom is a
finished sphere of dots.

set dotsSelectedOnly off
(which is the default state)
creates dots only where the surface of the atoms is sovlent- accessible.

Apologies if this is not an accurate description; at least its a
starting point...
