Of course you cannot "visualize" Al.broyd1  ????

I also do not understand what you mean by "pointing with the mouse to 
..." ??

In any case, you can only view   case.struct files (or *xcr files). And 
xcrysden needs to "know" that it is a struct file, either on the command 
line:

xcrysden --wien_struct case.struct     or
xcrysden
   open WIEN2k struct file .....

(see also xcrysden --help)

Do you see the "view structure" tab in  w2web ???
