I apologize for the manual not being more clear on this, we are working on
a tutorial.

run short MD (even a few steps is enough, just to get velocities) for
any structure that you want to use for the initial structure. using the
same inpcrd for all replicas is ok, but some people prefer to use
different structures for each. that's up to you.

it can be any T, the replicas will equilibrate during the simulation
anyway. Just like normal MD, you will want to discard some initial
period of REMD simulation as equilibration.

tempi won't be used since it is ignored if ntx=5 and irest=1. just set
temp0 for the replicas.
make sure that the input files are identical except for temp0 - we use a
script to create the mdin files.
