Angel, this would be a good thing to do. Just the very basics.
Better than anything would be simply a page with an applet and the 
comments to "view the source of this page" -- that's what most of us do 
anyway -- just cut and paste.

Part of the problem, Wayne, is that Jmol.js (version 11)  has some 
really nice features that we need to get out there. So, for example, we 
should have  

-a page that just loads a single model from the current directory (no 
initialization required)

-a page that defines a different directory for the Jar file and explains 
about file placement on/off line.

-a page that allows loading any PDB file from RCSB.

-a page that uses a few controls

-a page that allows a user to input script commands

-a page that uses a few callbacks

Each of these is about 10 lines long. Like you say, it shouldn't be that 
hard to demonstrate this.

Starting with something absolutely bare-bones, like:

http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/examples-11/simple1.htm

and then embellishing it.
