The within selector allows you to make a selection of all atoms within a given
radius form a point :
select within (distance,{x y z})
It won't give you just the closest...
I think it is feasible with Jmol math, where you can create an array of atoms,
then calculate an array of distances from a point (using the distance function)
and sort that array to get the smallest distance. I am not literate enough in
Jmol math subtleties to provide you with further hints...
