Hi FX,

I followed your advice and was able to recover the desired behavior! The
way I'd been doing things before, I had the following content for the
executable /usr/local/bin/vmd:

#!/bin/bash
>

"/Applications/VMD 1.9.4a55-arm64-Rev11.app/Contents/MacOS/VMDLauncher" $1
> $2 $3 $4 $5 $6

Changing the path in /usr/local/bin/vmd to "/Applications/VMD
1.9.4a55-arm64-Rev11.app/Contents/MacOS/startup.command" was all it took to
"fix" my issue.

Thanks for your help,
