It is nice to see that someone is using this option to remove the initial
bias of targeted ion placement; however a bit worrisome that it is not
working fully correctly :-)

Is it a Cl- ion? The parser may be mistakingly treating the minus as a
continuation character (try :Cl? instead).
Which ion is not being moved (i.e. the first or the last meaning perhaps
there is a +/- 1 error in the parser?).
If you start up rdparm, there is the "checkmask" command which will print
out what it thinks it has selected; you can check to see if this matches
all the ions you want to select...
checkmask :Cl-
Which version of ptraj?
Good luck,
