Further, you need 4 *separate* atom masks as all the commands like
distance, angle, dihedral allow calculation of virtual bonds, etc based on
the center of mass of the atom selection. For example if you want the
distance between the center of masses of two residues :1 and :2 you would
do
distance d1 :1 :2 out d1.dat
For your dihedral evaluation, you would write
dihedral zx .H64 .C29 .C30 .H66 out ph2
I will alter the output to be more specific and try to update the manual
to be clearer.
Good luck,
