thank you for your help! i had just solved my problem. the [:342.O] can be
recogized in distance command. the error message showed because i took a
mistaken. after Cl- added to neutralize the system, the number of water
molecule should be 346 instead of 342.
 the distance command, "distance 1 :346.O :173.OD1 out 1.list" was performed
OK.
