Hi,
  You can write a simple script that does this with a loop, say something like:

##
## Animate a range of frames
##
## Example:
## animateframerange 0 -1 1 5

proc animateframerange { first last step maxrepeat } {
  set numframes [molinfo top get numframes]

  if { $last < 0 } {
    set last [expr $numframes - 1]
  }

  for {set repeat 0} {$repeat < $maxrepeat} {incr repeat} {
    for {set frame $first} {$frame <= $last} {incr frame $step} {
      puts "Frame: $frame"
      animate goto $frame
      display update
    }
  }
}
