This assumes you want cartesians -- If you want fractional coordinates, you
will need to use a CIF format, I think, and use the LOAD DATA version of the
command, perhaps. I have to think about that. I guess you could actually
write a DATA command using a Jmol script, converting fractionals to
cartesians as you do it. An option anyway....


 In any case, both are relatively simple. You can find plenty of examples in
the data directory. XYZ is just

# atoms
comment line
Sym1 x1 y1 z1
Sym2 x2 y2 z2

like that, pretty free format. See the examples.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
