Have a look some MD tutorial material (doesn't have to be GROMACS). They 
probably start with a well-formed PDB file. That's probably a better learning 
experience than trying to read the format description.

Alternatively, use a molecule builder (search webpage for suggestions here) to 
create the coordinates, and then get pdb2gmx to do the rest of the work.

The idea behind pdb2gmx is that you don't have to move mountains to get your 
termini right, and the corresponding topology. If you just give it two adjacent 
PHE (charged or not), you can tell pdb2gmx what termini you want it to have. 
Done right, this whole task should not require you to inspect or change a 
coordinate file at all.
