Thanks for the feedback. We will certainly keep this in mind when
thinking of new tutorials for development.

Two tutorials come to mind. "Parameterizing a Novel Residue" will
guide you in calculating parameters for a new molecule. "Topology
File Tutorial" will guide you in making the Charmm topology and
parameter files for a new molecule which resembles another, already
parameterized molecule. The files are made by analogizing to the old
molecule.

They can be found here under "Science Topics":
