Hi Troy,

You're not missing anything; VMD's undergone some changes since that
script was written something like 5 years ago, and the script just hadn't
been updated. I've taken care of bringing the script up to speed with
post-1.5 versions of VMD, and it should be available from the script library
site on the web site shortly.

Also, to use the script, you'll need to source the text file, then enter
something like
        ca_distance [atomselect top protein]
from the command line.

Thanks for lettting us know about this, and thanks for using VMD!

Justin
