dear audrey,

let me congratulate you for giving an excellent
example of how e-mails to mailing lists asking for
help should be written. i wish more people would
put in this effort, as it makes it _so_ much easier
to respond in a concise way. thanks.

i guess that peter will address your specific problems
in more detail (he is the expert), but you may want
to have a look at the autopsf plugin documentation at:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/autopsf/
and particularly:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/autopsf/tech.html

also, if you see a way to augment the documentation to make
it easier to understand for people new to using the plugin,
we would appreciate it a lot (this is the thing that is usually
is the hardest to do).

thanks again and good luck with your simulations,
   axel.
