Someone more familiar with Macs help me out here....
You need a terminal window and a prompt. At the prompt, on a PC at least,
you type
> java -jar jmol.jar -h
That starts the program and assumes that the path to "java.exe" is known to
the system. If you can get that working, then you start Jmol using
java -jar jmol.jar -g600x600
and you should be good to go.
