I also thank to Jmol Dev Team!!

I think the combination of the JME + Jmol is the possible one.

and then.. *moving atom* feature might be needed ... and there was
already some patch
exists in the Bug tracking system by me. (PR #1830352)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1830352&group_id=23629&atid=379135

(The nanoCAD already have this *moving atom* feature)
http://server.ccl.net/cca/software/SOURCES/JAVA/ncad/unpacked/ncad.html

and the PR #1830352 implement *moving atom* with ALT + mouse LEFT button.

maybe smaller step limitaion needed by default.

BTW

I realize that the *adding atom* feature already implemented by "data" command
with some script flag

e.g)
set appendnew false;
data "append mymol"
1

C 0.0 0.0 1.0
end "append mymol
connect (atomno=<from no>),(atomno=<to num>)

BUT I found that this feature is not working correctly. (svn version) ..... :(
( load append "test.cif" works fine but *data* command does not)

Thanks for this great software :>
