Thanks for the response Justin.

"First, it would be helpful to know which version of Gromacs you're
using, especially if this is a bug in an older version. If it is the
most current version (4.0.5), it is of much greater interest :)"

I had been using version 3.3.2.

"What I don't understand is why you have a group with no name; that
shouldn't be. If you're defining AG atoms, then you should have [
System ] and [ AG ]."

"I'm assuming you've check the entire [ System ] directive to ensure
that all indices are positive? With the generation of a "no-name"
group, it is possible that something funky is going on."

Upon switching to version 4.0.2, generation of the index file still
results in the formation of an empty group; no elements of any of the
groups containing negative entries.  However, upon running editconf I
no longer get an error associated with choosing that group, so I
assume the negative indices have vanished and it was in fact a bug in
the older version.


That's strange, nevertheless :) Also, 4.0.2 is still old (2008), and 4.0.5 is the latest version. I have never come across a no-name group being generated in any version, however.

"Does the command work without the index file? If you're specifying a
box to contain the entire system, then you shouldn't need the index
file."

It does work without the index file, but I wanted to put all my silver
atoms in a group so as to be able to freeze them.


You might not need an index group to accomplish this, unless you're only choosing a subset of the silver atoms. Each [ moleculetype ] should be detected by grompp from the topology, so as long as you have an AG moleculetype defined, then you shouldn't need to specify it in the index. But then, I don't know the entire contents of your system, so this is just conjecture.
