we are going in circles here.

i don't want to see somebody else's script.
i need to see *exactly* what *you* are doing.
i cannot debug something that "looks about the same"
to what you are doing. is this so difficult to understand?

but that brings up another question: what version of VMD are you running?
and on what platform? there has been a bug in a *very* old version of VMD
where the "-1" flag was off.
