maria,

please give a more detailed explanation of what you expect
it to do and what it does instead. it works fine for me,
the way i think it should work considering the tcl script
language syntax. example:

vmd > set list [list 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]
vmd > set number 5
vmd > set temp [atomselect top "resid [lindex $list $number]"]
vmd > $temp text
resid 5

cheers,
