that is correct. The mask, ifsc, crgmask settings stay the same as in the
complex for the in-water transformation.

You do 2 transformations (in complex and in water) x 3 substeps (charges,
vdW, charges again) x 9 lambdas x three runs (minimization, equilibration,
production) so a total of 162 calls to mpirun. The total number is not
important, e.g. the minimization runs are much shorter than the
productions and a real study would look different anyway.

1 and 4 are both settings used in step 1 (charge removal). The substep
uses two different mdin-files. The same goes for 2+5 and 3+6. The overall
transformation you want is 1->6 but you do it in substeps 1->4 2->5 and
3->6 and add their results together.

If you study the prepare_example.bat script that comes with the tutorial
you will see how the different steps/program calls/input files are all put
together for the complete run.
