Yes, Axel, to learn Tcl is indeed a good option. But it will take a long time to be efficient.

However, since I am not very familiar with the tcl language, it is not clear to me where the place the following command [format "Time: %f ps" $timestepvariable] suggested by Axel in the display_time_bar.tcl script to show the value of the current time in the progress Bar.

i think at this point there is no more easy way out. if you cannot extract
from the existing script how to modify it, you either have to teach
yourself enough tcl / vmd scripting to understand what this is
all about, or you can hire somebody to write custom code for you,
or you give up. there are good tutorials for tcl (check out www.tcl.tk)
and also for vmd scripting. it will pay off in many ways to learn this well.

cheers,
