Dear Zhanwu,
  Try adding the line "display update ui" before the call to myproc,
and see if that cures your problem. Let us know if that works for you.
If you're doing an atom selection in myproc, that might solve the problem
for you right there. If so, we can probably suggest a more efficient way
to do the same thing, but lets see if that quick fix does it for you for
the time being.

Thanks,
  John Stone
