Hi Wei,

Did your script include those curly braces?  That's one way to define  
a comment in the
classic xplor language.

In addition, your atom selections probably don't select what you  
intended.  If you were trying
to select the backbone heavyatoms of all those residues, you need to  
have parentheses
around the entire "resid or resid" section.  That is, something like

(segid A and (resid 3:7 or resid 12:33 or resid 46:54 ...) and (name  
ca or name c or name n))

The selections you gave will select all atoms from residues 3-7,  
12-33, etc., and only the backbone
atoms from residues 86-103.

Please let us know if these changes don't solve the problem!
