yes.

not like this though, since all arguments to bigdcd are
assumed to be names of dcd files.
however, if you locate the line with
'animate read dcd $dcd waitfor 0'
in your bigdcd.tcl script and only use one dcd file,
you can just change that line to
'animate read dcd $dcd beg 500 waitfor 0'
and you should get what you desire.
if you want to run through multiple files, the hack
has to be a little bit more elaborate. please let us
know if you need more help.
alternatively, you could use the catdcd tool to cut
away the first part of your dcd file. see.
