You can pick individual atoms in the mask using the .symbol. So for example:

restraintmask=':5-7 | .121-124,155,157',

Would select atoms that were either part of residues 5,6,7 OR were atom
numbers 121,122,123,124,155,157.

I believe that this is not an exclusive or and so you can have atom numbers
that overlap with the residue selections. Although I haven't tested this.
For a full description of the ambmask language see page 287-288 of the Amber
9 manual.

Good luck,

Ross
