Yes.

No, I haven't, and I don't remember seeing that described in any work flow.

All right, that's useful information.  But what I am doing here is ripped
from a tutorial file, and modified as little as possible.  I try not to
change things that I do not yet understand.  My source for the MDP files was
the lysozyme tutorial shell script that accompanied GROMACS 3.3.  If there
are procedures in that tutorial that are obsolete, I guess I'm finding that
out the hard way.

I may take the time to try that experiment later.  I'll report back with any
findings.

Thanks for your help!
