COM position

Hi all, I'm not sure this went through so I'm sending it again with more
coments...

is there a way to keep the position of the system's center of mass
fixed at a certain point (e.g. origin) ?
is there a command to accomplish this or do I have to write a script? How
do I do it?

Reading the manual I found in section 6.7.3 and 6.7.6 (Options for
conformational
restraints and Examples, Fixed restraints page 80) that I can do something
like

urestrain {
  posi group {(*,*,*)} kf=20 ref=(0,0,0)
}

I'm not sure about the *'s though, should I use {all} instead?
Would this work?

Afterall, all I want to do is to keep the COM from moving in the Z
direction...

Thanks for any help
