(I have send this e-mail yesterday, but since it still didn't show up
on VMD list I am resending it)

Dear John,

Thanks a lot John!
I have tried your suggestions, but things are still not working ...
Here is the summary:
------------------------------------------
1. To run example file:
....
> to load the examples as if you had started them from the command line:
> cd /your/home/directory/Desktop/1kdx
> play 1kdx.vmd

It shows up now, but the whole surface is just white. Is it something
about parameters, or something else that needs to be set up?
-----------------------------------
2. To read CHARMM el. potential file I have upgraded to VMD 1.8.5 and
did following (two different things):

2.a) I have assumed that the proper extension for el. potential is dx
(reading examples). Is that so?

FIRST:
file> new molecule> loaded CHARMM .psf file and .crd file (coordinates)

vmd > cd /Users/ivana/Desktop/UHBD/El.potential.charmm
vmd > mol addfile jws.s1.phi.0.6.watr.dx
Error reading grid dimensions.
ERROR) Could not read file jws.s1.phi.0.6.watr.dx
Unable to load file 'jws.s1.phi.0.6.watr.dx' using file type 'dx'.
vmd >

Or :

2.b)
file> new molecule> loaded CHARMM .psf file and .crd file (coordinates)
file>load state> tried to load CHARMM potential file, but it did't go
through; here is beginning on the vmd screen:

I could upload my .psf, crd and potential files if yopu would like to
check them out ...

Thanks for your help and time,
