[gmx-users] gmx make_ndx: select last created group without knowing its number

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

Sure, you can give and refer to groups either by name or number, so there
are many possible solutions for you. Easiest is to give it a name at the
time you make it, and then use that name later. Otherwise, you could delete
all the other groups so that the group you want is always group 1.
