Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the output trajectory is absolutely OK.
May be I misunderstood the meaning of the key 'first|oxygen'. I thought
that one can use either the key 'first' or 'oxygen'. If 'first' is used the
hydrogen or oxygen which is nearest will be considered, but if 'oxygen' is
used only the nearest oxygen atom will be considered.
From your answer it seems that 'closest' command works according to atom
numbering where oxygen comes first.
Please let me know If I again misunderstood.
Best,
indrajit
