Not in my browsers (WinXP: Firefox 2.0, IE 7.0): spin and dots are
switched off after loading a molecule.

If you would like to switch on spin and dots when loading a molecule
you could add the following commands to your Jmol load script:
javascript document.getElementById("jmolCheckbox0").checked=true;
javascript document.getElementById("jmolCheckbox2").checked=true;
This will issue the javascript commands from within Jmol and set the
checkbox states.
Since each checkbox has a unique ID you would have to adapt this for
your second applet.
If you would like to preserve the current user settings for spin and
dots when loading a molecule you could replace your "spin on; dots
on;" commands by the following commands in your Jmol load script:
javascript if (document.getElementById("jmolCheckbox0").checked ==
true) { jmolScript("spin on",0)} else {jmolScript("spin off",0)};
javascript if (document.getElementById("jmolCheckbox2").checked ==
true) { jmolScript("dots on",0)} else {jmolScript("dots off",0)};
Adapt the IDs for your second applet as above. And you also have to
adapt the target applet number in the 'jmolScript("...",0)' commands
from "0" to "1" ('jmolScript("...",1)').
