Thank you...I would have never thought to try this approach. This may be a way to get a good test system working prior to coding something up. I appreciate the help.
Best, Jerome

If you really want to pursue this, check out the "iscale" variable in sander.
It allows "extra" dynamical variables beyond just the coordinates. Basically,
you could set iscale=1, and arrange to have your lambda value copied to
x(3*natom+1) and its force component to f(3*natom+1). The MD step will then
update these values along with the coordinates. You can see an example in how
the alignment tensor is handled for NMR residual dipolar coupling restraints.
...good luck...dac
