[gmx-users] Odd error

Very good yes something was odd with the spaces, I had been making a walk
through on how to exactly perform my simulation and I was testing the
commands that I had put onto a web site and apparently there must be some
sort of funny spaces in there, but when I removed the spaces and replaced
them the commands worked properly again.

Thank you again,
