To manually set the box dimensions, you want the "set" command, not the
"setBox" command. (I know that this is not very intuitive....). For
example

   set <UNIT> box { 25.0 30.0 35.0 }

Here, <UNIT> is the name of your entire system, and the above example
would create a box with x,y,z dimensions of 25,30 and 35 Angstroms.

(Check the bottom of the coordinate (prmcrd) file that you create to make
sure it did what you want.)

...good luck...dac
