from the Jmol application or signed applet:
write "XXX.vrml"
or
write VRML "XXX.xxx"
multiple bonds -- I guess this depends upon your definition of "ideally."
Others feel that "ideally" the bonds should rotate so that there is never a
question as to their order. In addition, this introduces the ambiguity in
cases such as H2SO4 where no reference plane exists. Definitely not easy.
