You have to use the group format like it says. I believe you need to put the
nmr redirection stuff after the last namelist, and then list your belly
restraints. The *.in you gave in your earlier mail does not look correct to
me, in that the group input does not start with a comment card; you may have
to look at the doc on GROUP input again.

thanks for reply, and I tested:
1) without nmropt=1, without ibelly=1, i.e. no restraints, no freezing, just
regular MD.
    the outputs of both sander and pmemd are the same;
2) with nmropt=1, but without ibelly=1, i.e. restraints, but no freezing,
the restrained MD.
    the outputs of both sander and pmemd are the same;
 3) with nmropt=1, with ibelly=1, i.e. restraints, and freezing, do the MD
again,
     when bellymask used, the error message is:
     "ERROR: PMEMD 9 does not support bellymask option! Please use Amber
6/7 GROUP format instead".
      when the Amber 6/7 GROUP format is used, i.e. the input file I
attached in the previous email, the same error as described in my previous
email happened.
-------------------------------------------------------------
so, how to put ibelly=1 (group list or bellymask) in the input file that can
be read in correctly by pmemd?
