actually, using the b-factor field in pdb files is a crutch
and only works globally, i.e. cannot be used for timestep
specific data. a better location is the user field. to load
data into that field, you have to use tcl scripting. you use
standard tcl scripting to read a file. create an atom selection
and then assign it to the user (or user2, user3, or user4) field.
this is documented in the vmd user's guide and some additional
examples are in the vmd script tutorials and in:
