"Total" is the sum of all energy components (Internal + van der Waals +
Electrostatic + Polar Solvation + Non-Polar Solv.). The 3 columns are
the average, std. dev., and std. err. of mean (just like the other
sections).

The "std. err. of mean" you are seeing actually belongs to the Non-Polar
Solv. The 3 "total" columns are unlabelled currently. I will look into
that and fix it.

The comma-separated format was introduced after the tutorial was
written. You can set "csv_format=0" in the &decomp section to get the
same format as you see in the tutorial.

It is the difference between the bound and unbound states (complex -
receptor - ligand). The "location" section tells you 'where' MMPBSA.py
thinks each residue is in the unbound state (R meaning the residue is in
the receptor and L meaning the residue is in the ligand).
