This is correct, although it can be modified by the "iwrap" variable. My
recommendation is to keep iwrap=0 in sander, and use ptraj to image the
coordinates back to the primary unit cell. The reason is that ptraj is
more flexible than sander in doing this imaging, so you are more likely to
get exactly what you want.

...good luck....dac
