FYI this can be done with the 'outprefix' keyword of the 'closest' command.

, then use the “lie” or “energy” commands on the resulting trajectory.

So you need to use some algorithmic definition for selecting the atoms in the first solvation shell and go with that. Also note that energy is an extensive property, so if different frames have different numbers of waters *in* that first solvation shell, their energies will not be directly comparable (which is why the “closest” command is probably a better approach than the hard cutoff).
