stupid question. why do you want to put this into your .vmdrc file.

why not use a regular script file and then load it from the
command line with -e
do you always want to load the same data set in exactly the
same style every time you launch VMD???

where did you find the keyword "mol trajectory"?

if you just want to _load_ a specific frame you have to
use the "first" and "last" keywords of "mol new" or "mol
addfile."

if you just want to _show_ a specific frame, you can
use the "mol drawframes $molid $repid $frame" syntax.

you'd have to do this _after_ the mol addrep $mid
line, of course.

cheers,
