Reinhold,

Jmol won't assume those temperature values are partial charges. So what 
you have to do is assign the partial charges yourself based on that 
data. The way this is done is really quite easy in 11.4 (not 11.2):

{*}.partialCharge = {*}.temperature.all

That assigns the partial charges based on the list of temperature 
values. Then, after that, you can use

  isosurface sasurface map mep

for example. I notice that the popup menu doesn't reconfigure to show 
the MEP option, but that will be fixed.
