Hi, You might be interested to know about another 3D molecular viewer that I've just come across. It's called MacMolecule2 (the Windows equivalent is PCMolecule2) and can be used as a helper application to open pdb and other format files. There is also a freeware version of these programs, known as MacMolecule2 lite and PCMolecule2 lite. They can be obtained from the University of Arizona at: <http://www.molvent.com> They have many features that I haven't seen in other some viewers (such as Rasmol & WebLab), such as including a sidebar which contains text about the molecule allowing a scripted tutorial as the student views the moelcule in different orientations.
