That's right.

That is also right. The reason is that in this way one can use one SAS
calculation together with different SURFTEN and SURFOFF values to
determine different G_nonpolar contributions (e.g. if the polar part to
the solvation free energy is determined by GB and solving the PB
equation in one run).

Just one comment - setting MS to "1" in the mm_pbsa.in file leads to
using molsurf for calculating the SAS, i.e. conversion of the snapshot
files to pqr files is done within mm_pbsa.pl.
