Hi Scott,
Thanks for the tip.  Just to make sure I understand the code and the  
data storage in AMBER (I've never had to modify this code before):
1) For the parameters I have used, I need to add F parameters in the  
section starting at line 1054 of mdread.f, "if ( gbsa == 1 ) then"?
2) I should add a line like:
                else if (atype == 'F' .or. atype == 'f') then
                   x(l165-1+i) = 1.47d0 + 1.4d0
                   x(l170-1+i) = 0.68563d0
                   x(l175-1+i) = -0.1868d0
                   x(l180-1+i) = -0.00135573d0
                   x(l185-1+i) = 0.00023743d0
into the series of elseif statements?  The l165 parameter is the vdw  
radius "augmented by 1.4 Ang.".  However, I have no idea what the  
other parameters stand for or what they should be for F.  Any  
suggestions?
3) I should only need to recompile the sander code, by "make serial"  
in $AMBERHOME/src/sander/, right?
Please let me know if I'm on the right track.  Thanks!
