If you're running /home/ramon/COMPROG/xplor-nih-2.18/bin/xplor
then these files are read in by default when it is determined (within
loadPDB) that your structure is a nucleic acid. i.e. you don't need
these lines. You can specify the string "nucleic" in both cases- it
specifies using default topology/parameter files (the ones you're
loading). You can change the default parameter/topology files using

import protocol
protocol.paramters["nucleic"] = "/path/to/other/params"
protocol.topology["nucleic"] = "/path/to/other/topo"

> # Read PDB and generate PSF on the fly and initializes coordinates
> protocol.loadPDB('par/ED_53_acc.pdb')
> 

When you use loadPDB, you don't need to specify initTopology/Params. The
caveat is that nonstandard residues can't be handled without some other
work.

And you're right- the documentation should be improved.

best regarads--
