Hello,

      I just noticed that I was using a different source file than the one
I linked before:

http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/old/script_library_old/trajectory_path/trajectory_path.vmd

Maybe this can be the source of the problem? Actually in the old version
there is this command:

mol new graphics [$selection text]

which is not present in the new version....
