Hi Brian,

I did load a pdb and a parmtop file before loading the dcd (forgot to
mention that) however when I loaded the dcd file I stil did get that
number 0 of loaded frames. I will try without the {} curled braces
but...it's weird because I used the logfile /dev/tty/ command to see what
vmd is using to load the dcd and that contained the braces...

Thanks,
Ioana
