dear wendy,

this script is not part of VMD and thus not directly supported
by any of us. so you have to direct your request for an update
at the _author_ of the script. from the age of the webpage,
i would not put my hopes up too high, though.

alternatively, you have to either figure it out yourself
(learning how to program VMD can be fun and prove to be
much more useful than you might think right now) or find
somebody else that has enough spare time or is otherwise
motivated to fix it for you.

sorry,
   axel.
