Hi Mark,
I only calculate the RMSD for a particular group. So I need to use a index 
file, which explicitly indicates the atom indices within that group.


1) So if that group indices contain "1 2 3 ...", the Gromacs software will 
always assume they are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ... atoms, instead of 100001th, 100002th, 100003th, 
... ?

Yes. GROMACS does what you tell it. If you want atom 1, use 1. If you want atom 100001, use 100001.


2) And if I want the RMSD for the group containing atom 100001th, 100002th, 
100003th, ..., I need to write their indices as 100001, 100002, 100003, ..., ?


Yes.
