Thank you, Paul, for contacting us about this error. Looks like we had a bug that only appears for first-time users. Very sorry about that -- not nice at all to do that to new users, I know! This is now fixed for Jmol 12.0.8 and 12.1.6, which are both ready for release.
Right this minute, though, http://chemapps.stolaf.edu is down, so I can't do any updating there like I usually do.
