Paul,
  I had no trouble loadin the .gro file you emailed me on my VMD test
Mac here, so it makes me wonder if there's something unusual about
your machine there. If you do in fact get the right count of atoms,
then its possible that its a graphics related problem of some kind.
Can you send me the VMD startup messages that your machine prints
when you run it? On my test Mac the structure you sent looks exactly the
same as it does on Solaris, Linux, etc.

Thanks,
  John Stone
