I infer from your questions that some good advice for you would be to
learn to walk well, before you try to run. I suggest you start with all
of the tutorial material available on the VMD and NAMD websites. Then
consider attending one of the workshops that is held for learning their
proper use. Attempting to do any of the above procedures too early is a
recipe for frustration and wasted computer time.
