Pawel,
  Before going any further, can you verify which versions of VMD you're
comparing? Older releases of VMD did not provide the additional menu
areas and commands for saving a subsets of structure to trajectories.
If you can double check which versions you're actually using that would
be very helpful.

Thanks,
  John Stone
