It tells cpptraj the time between snapshots, in whatever units you wish.
(ps or ns are common units). This is only used to replace the frame number
with the elapsed time in writing some output files.

You should use ntwx, not ntpr, here. In your example, they are both the same.

Works. But simpler is just ntwx*dt.

Yes.

You don't need this, unless some of the residues 44-61 are in fact water
molecules. (But in that case, you should just change ":44-61" to what you
really want.)

Yes.

I strongly urge you to upgrade to AmberTools15. cpptraj is being developed
now at a very rapid pace. Simple tools like "rms" are probably fine in the
older version, but many bugs have been fixed and new feature added. Even
the manual is better (although still far from perfect.)
....good luck....dac
