James,
This is the molrc.video file that works fine for me. I add some
suggestion to your molrc.video. I hope it helps. Disable everythng that
deals with mol running under X and I think it will run fine. My ydl and
macosx are under fn-ctrl-option-f7 and fn-ctrl-option-f8.
With friendly regards,
Erik de Wild
