better is

 write PNGJ "test.png"

or

 write "test.png" as PNGJ

(the latter because I keep forgetting to put PNGJ first :)

Bummer. Yes, that is definitely supposed to work. Does it work for you on
OS X in the Jmol application to set the window size using the top menu item
Display...Resize? Or does that crash as well?

Right -- we are not about to change the size of an applet.

Hmm. That's odd. In JSmol it works in Windows -- how about Safari?
