Read about how to create the appropriate index file here:

http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/make_ndx

There are also several posts in the list archive on how to create the index file correctly.

Thanks Justin for your prompt reply with better suggestion
I have done like this
1.For index file
Selected > a C34
  3 34 :128 elements
  then
  > a C36
  4 36 : 128 elements......
  till C50( only C atoms)
so
index file contain
  [C34]
  atoms
  [36]
  atoms...[C50]

2. then I have typed command like this
  g_order -f .xtc -s .tpr -o ord.xvg -od scd.xvg -n .ndx
  asked to select group
Group    0 (  System) has 14036 elements
Group    1 (  POPC) has  6656 elements
Group    2 (    SOL) has  7380 elements
Group    3 (    C34) has  128 elements
Group    4 (    C36) has  128 elements
.
.
.
Group    18 (      C50) has  128 elements

Group  Select a group: 3
Selected 3: 'C34'
Reading frame 0 time 0.000 Back Off! I just backed up sg-ang.xvg to ./#sg-ang.xvg.1#

Back Off! I just backed up sk-dist.xvg to ./#sk-dist.xvg.1#
Last frame 25000 time 5000.000 gcq#189: "Stay Tuned, We'll Be Right Back" (CNN)
have I done is correct?

I have doubt that the mentioned -o and -od flags didnt generate .xvg file but without mentioning -Sk and -Sg flags .xvg got generated?
Can you clear this problem.
