Hey Guys,
Thanks for the tips--I found the following combinations to work best
for me.

I should have been editing vmd.rc instead, so at the end I put e.g.,
cd c:Documents\ and\ Settings/cchang/Desktop
> 2. Use Firefox as a default Web browser? I don't know how to handle

Dan's solution works, with the addition of backslashes to make the
spaces literal, i.e. in vmdinit.tcl:
set env(VMDHTMLVIEWER) {c:/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox/firefox.exe
-remote openURL(%s,new-window)}
Again, thanks for the help!
Chris
