Hi,
  The easiest way is to select the rest of the structure (other than the
residue that you want to delete) and save the selection to a file, or files
as needed. A trivial example to delete resid FOO would be:
  set sel [atomselect top "not resid FOO"]
  $sel writepdb /tmp/nofoo.pdb
  $sel writepsf /tmp/nofoo.psf

Cheers,
  John Stone
