OH, one more thing -- with the

  load ""

option -- empty quotes -- you can reload any file with different parameters:

  load "" unitcell {........} spacegroup "......"

and if you want a really neat effect, use:

  set refreshing false
  save orientation
  load "" unitcell {........} spacegroup "......"
  restore orientation
 set refreshing true

What you should see is a delay while the file is opening, then the 
modification will be displayed with no flicker of transition. There are 
even ways of saving just the parts of the state that relate to the 
cartoons and such, so that could even be restored if desired.

And, of course, you could use:

  load APPEND "" unitcell {........} spacegroup "......"

so that you could then compare models, overlay them, shift them relative 
to each other, etc.....

Jmol is pretty powerful in this area. Not many people have realized how 
powerful the Jmol scripting+math combination is, I think. I'd like to 
see more people capitalizing on these capabilities.
