I don't see any errors either...your output looks fine. (But see the note
about disulfide bonds.)

The icons that SGI may assign to files have nothing to do with Amber at all.
CTHR is a C-terminal THR, and NCYX is an N-terminal cysteine: these names
are given by amber. Amber also by default renames HOH residues to "WAT".

Remember that you must manually specify any disulfide bonds in your structure
using the "bond" command -- this is *not* done automatically.
