Hi Peter,
Thank you for your help. I successfully made the pressure output.
Now I'm trying to get the pressure of the Apoa1. Its PDB, PSF, parameter
files, and the configure file are provided by NAMD group. You can get it
here: http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/performance.html I think you may
be quite familiar with it.
When I run the code and get the output (see below), I found the pressure
value is weird. It's a small negative number (-5241). I think the pressure
inside the box should be close to 1 bar. Could you tell me why it's so small
here? Thank you so much!

Have a nice day!
