Hey John,
Thanks for ur response. I thot of another approach. I use very few vmd tcl
commands, like "mol load pdb " and writepdb in my tcl script. So is it
possible to just "inlcude" these select "packages" and just run the tcl
script using tclsh.

Do you know if I can do this? Are these functions available as executables
or tcl packages?

Thanks
Goutham
