Hello Thomas,
first of all thank you very much for your response !

And now to your comments...

My original input trajectory "prod_BASE_NAME_REIMAGED.mdcrd" is
of course already reimaged by commands:

--------------------
center :1-204
image familiar
--------------------

where :1-204 are all receptor and ligand residues.

I added here:

http://physics.ujep.cz/~mmaly/AMBER/

one more picture with the last (400th) frame of my original input
trajectory
with water box. From this picture could be seen that imaging was done OK.

I also uploaded there this last frame as the RST file together with
original
PRMTOP file. If you could try to do what I wanted to achieve it would be
great !
If you have no time to try to play with my system, please let me at least
know
more in detail your version of this two step procedure.

  Thank you very much in advance !

     Best wishes,

        Marek
