I'm thoroughly confused.  There is no need to manually manipulate these sections 
if you're allowing genbox, genion, etc to manipulate them for you.  Please post 
the following information to get a resolution:

1. Your .top file
2. Your molecule.itp file (you can delete out lines in the atoms, bonds, 
dihedrals section so the file is not unnecessarily long - I'm really just 
interested in the other directives that may be present)
