Hi Greg, and welcome!

> 1. Where is the doco of label parameters %a %n etc. 

You got to the "label" doc,
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/#label
and it says "See atom properties for a detailed list of atom properties that 
can be included in labels"
which leads you to
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/#atomproperties
The table there has both new and old syntax,
label %[xxx]    label %x

If you are running the Jmol app, both its window and the console window 
open at the last used position on screen (but I use Windows, not Mac)
For the applet, I don't think it can be done.

Not sure about "arguments". You can pass script commands or load script 
files, see
http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_Application#Loading_files_and_running_s
cripts

For the app, there is also "macros" from the top bar menu, which loads files.

What kind of arguments you speak about, and where would they be written?


> 4. Can I create a directory in Jmol script ?

Don't think so.


> 5. Can I do upper/lower case conversion of a string in Jmol ?

Don't know, please check Jmol Math doc. But I doubt it. What for?
Jmol scripting language is case-insensitive.

Not sure what you'd call "programming". In some sense, all scripting is such. 
Then you have the Jmol Math and the control structures as you have found. 
What would you include under "programming language"? If you think it 
relevant, you could create a documentation page (or rather an index with 
pointers to the Scripting Doc sections) in the Wiki.

That's Ok, that's why we have this list for

Good luck!
