It's a residue topology database. From the foregoing, I don't think 
you've read chapter 5 of the manual, like I suggested last time. In 
particular, section 5.5.1 explains the use and abuse of the .rtp files, 
and there's more you need to have read before you can ask sensible 
questions about what to do here.

There are no standards for residue and/or molecule abbreviated names, 
because there are many more molecules than possible names. If you want 
to use automated topology builders like pdb2gmx, then you need to have 
your input structure names conform to the .rtp for the force field 
you're using - that's all.
