[AMBER] this a very green neophyte's question.

I am trying to get started using Amber. At Minnesota, Amber (11 I think)
is available on the Minnesota Supercomputing Center machine Itasca
and I have downloaded a .pdb file of a membrane protein of interest to
me from the site /http://blanco.uci.edu/mpstruc
The file displays nicely with rasmol. I read the Ambertools manual and
followed the procedure on p. 49 of the posted Ambertools with the
following results (after loading the Amber module)

I repeated this frustrating procedure with at least one other pdb file
from the same site.

The manual says something about using "addPdbAtomMap or
addPdbResMap commands to make systematic changes from the names in your
PDB files" in cases like this but looking at the description of those
commands, I have to know what names to use, and I do not.

Would using another 'leaprc...' file as source be likely to help?

I'm sorry for the length of this post and will be grateful for any help.

Thank you,
